Power BI Website doesn't allow me to add source without downloading PowerBI Desktop

Hi,

 

Not sure if there is an issue on the website or not - whenever I want to add a datasource on Power BI desktop, I can't add an Azure SQL database directly from the website but the page always wants me to download the PowerBI Desktop - something I don't want to do - 1 my OS being OSX - 2 the solution I need to provide should remain purely SaaS.

Is there any issue with my account (I have a pro license) or the functionality doesn't exists at all ?
