Hi, Anonymous 

 

You can try the workaround:

  1. Before the PBIX file is upgraded to the new format in the October 2020 version of PBI Desktop (Optimized for PBIRS), a backup copy is saved in the AppData folder: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop SSRS\TempSaves\Backups 
  2. Open PBI Desktop and turn off the Enhanced Metadata option. Go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Global-Preview features -> then uncheck the option:
  3. Restart Power BI Desktop 
  4. Reopen the backup PBIX file 
  5. You should be able to use this version of the report and publish it to the PBIRS server. It is the v1 model and the same format as in May 2020 PBIRS. 

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

 

Best Regards

Janey Guo
