Cube works with both [Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service][link-powerbi-desktop-vs-service].
If you're using Power BI Service, you need to set up an [on-premises data gateway][link-powerbi-gateway].
[Power BI Report Builder][link-powerbi-report-builder] is not supported.

Scope nit: this row lands in the Authentication methods table under "Connect to the DAX API", but the intro sentence at line 11 states Report Builder is unsupported for Cube generally (both DAX API and SQL API paths). Two small consequences:

  • A row with — in an Authentication column is really answering "which applications are supported", not "which auth method to use" — a reader scanning for auth guidance gets a non-answer.
  • If the limitation is DAX-API-specific (i.e. Report Builder can still reach Cube over the SQL API as a Postgres source), line 11 overstates it; if it's global, the table row understates the reach by living in a DAX-only section.

Since line 11 already says it plainly, the table row is arguably redundant. If you want to keep both, worth making the intro sentence explicit about which API(s) it covers.
