Did you created a ODBC DSN first based on the Excel document? I think you need to do that first and for more details about using Excel data source in SSRS please see here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3a15f05a-9654-425f-a095-a6628f29fe67/connect-excel-to-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
