For those who require an on-premises solution for reporting (and may or may not move to the Cloud at a later date), Power BI Report Server is Microsoft’s on-premises solution. It’s included with Power BI Premium and you can download a free trial here.

Today sees the release of a new version of Power BI Report Server. This release contains all of the features first introduced in the August Preview, as well as several new features:

• Scheduled data refresh
• Direct Query support available
• New REST API for developers
• Connection to shared datasets via OData
• Filter reports using URL parameters.

Similar to the usual updates, we'll be summarising these in our next newsletter (December). We even have training in Power BI which you can find out more about here. If you are not already a subscriber, why not sign up at the bottom of any SumProduct web page?
