Custom data processing extensions (custom data sources) are not supported in Power BI Report Server.

The only extension types still supported are:

Authentication extensions (custom security providers)

  **Delivery extensions** (custom delivery targets, e.g., sending a report to a custom destination)

are the above conclusions true？

SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
A SQL Server technology that supports the creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, web-based reports.

    Hi Sara Li,

    After checking the official Microsoft documentation, it has been confirmed that Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) does support custom data processing extensions. These extensions enable connections to different data sources and allow data processing for your reports. The types of extensions supported in PBIRS include:

    • Data Processing Extensions: For connecting to and processing data from various sources.
    • Delivery Extensions: For defining custom methods of delivering reports to users.
    • Rendering Extensions: For rendering reports in different formats.
    • Security Extensions: For implementing custom authentication and authorization mechanisms.

    For more detailed information, you can refer to the official documentation:

    Developer handbook overview, Power BI Report Server - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Extensions for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) - SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) | Microsoft Learn

    Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out for any further questions.

    Thank you,

    Pranay.
