Description

I was following the guide at this link and it looked pretty simple, except for the fact that doesn't work.

I download the file DMA Reports V3.1.pbix and as soon as I run it asks for the server and database credentials.
I enter them and I load, here is where the problem starts:

Problem

Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table.
Details:
Key=
Schema=dbo
Item=ReportData
Table=[Table]

It looks like it's searching for something that is not there.
I do believe this Power BI file must be pointing to a specific database or set of information but this is not specified in your guide.

Explain, please

Research direction

Start with the Power BI Reports guide linked in the issue and the downloaded DMA Reports V3.1.pbix file. Reproduce the load using the supplied server and database credentials, then investigate the missing dbo.ReportData entry shown in the error. Done means the sample opens successfully with documented prerequisites, or the guide clearly explains the required database and data.
