Is there a specific Desktop version for RS ?
Hi everyone,
I've got some difficulties to understand the purpose of Report Server.
I need to update the Desktop version because we have an old version dating of 2017.
We're using Report Server.
Can I install the "classic" Desktop or do I need to download a specific one (just for Report Server) ?
Can you give me the link ?
I know that there's less functionalities on desktop report server.
Thanks by advance for your help,

you can download Desktop RS version here https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/report-server/
choose PBIDesktopRS or PBIDesktopRS64
you can create report in the standart Desktop version but it could be a problem with new functionality compability

Yes there is, and for the Report Server version of PBI, the month of the version of the Desktop designer matches with the version of the Report Server itself.
Easy to check as you may well know is to look at the top bar's text to check what version you are on.
Hi mpsrshl
Thnxx, I don't know how to check the version of the report server itself.
Do you mean when I'm connect to the Report Server service ?
Sorry if it's a dumb question !Thanks by advance,

this is RS version:
this is Desktop (no month name):
You can create a report in Desktop version then upload it to Report server but it could be not compatible if you are using newest functionality
