Description

It seems that live connected reports cannot be compared against other reports. We tried a couple of different files and got the same error. Changing the connection/storage mode of one of the files to DirectQuery caused the comparison to work, and we got the result.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the comparison with live-connected reports, then repeat it after changing one report to DirectQuery as described. Identify why the live-connection case fails; the work is done when equivalent reports can be compared successfully without changing their connection or storage mode.
