This just in from the Reporting Services product team:
“Power BI reports in SQL Server Reporting Services: January 2017 Technical Preview now available” This feature addition will allow Power BI reports to be published to a local SQL Server Reporting Services server, entirely-on-premises without using the Power BI cloud service.
The January 2017 Technical Preview can be downloaded from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54610
I literally just received this update from Microsoft and plan to download and start working with the preview. I’ll post updates with my experience.
This is not an update for SQL Server 2016 but it is actually the next version of SQL Server which is due out in a few months.
Please check back for updates!

Hi Paul,
I’m trying to download January 2017 technical preview in order to test Power BI with our Reporting Services server, but following the link you provided, the content seems to be no longer available.
If you have it, could you please sent me the msi file?
Thanks in advanced
Paul – Is it your understanding that the “next version of SQL Server” will be another separate full license? In other words, we are in the process of moving to SQL 2016 right now. Will we have to purchase another full license in a few months in order to be able to publish Power BI reports to SSRS??
That’s a good question, I know that it will be possible to use SRSS “2017” and store its database on previous sql server version, but I’m worried about the licensing. I don’t think it’s even possible to have a license just for SRSS, or am I wrong?
Great!
I would like to see how the Power BI Desktop Technical Preview & the report server act together!
