Hi Joelllp ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.


The issue might have occurred because someone in your organization may have received that PBIX file and opened it in the Microsoft Store version of Power BI Desktop. After making updates, they attempted to upload it to Power BI Report Server and encountered an error. Since the Store version uses a newer file format, the PBIX was automatically upgraded, making it incompatible with the Report Server version of Power BI Desktop.


If possible, create a new report in Power BI Desktop RS and upload it to the Power BI report server to see if the issue is with the specific pbix file or the report server.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you
