"Edit in Power BI Desktop" button on Power BI Report Server not working

ShepherdsPie23 — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:43:56 GMT

Hi,

We have the following installed which should be the latest version of the June (2017) On premise release

Power BI Report Server Version: 14.0.600.305 (June 2017)

Power BI Desktop RS Version: 2.47.4766.2561 64-bit (June 2017)

When we use the "Edit In Power BI Button" the application doesn't launch (eveb though thh application mentioned above is installed locally), instead the pop up below appears:

"We're opening your report in Power BI Desktop...."

Woudl it be possible to provide some advice in resolving this issue

Regards

James

Hi Qiuyun,

Thanks for your response. Does this mean that the "Edit In Power BI" button in the June (2017) release (from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55329 ) is known to not work and that there isn't a known fix beside from updating to the October (2017) release.

Regards

Hi ShepherdsPie23,

Actually, I havn't use Power BI report server Jun for a long time. But based on my test, in October version, I can use Edit in Power BI desktop feature fine. So you can try to upgrade your report server.

By the way, this new version has some improved features, you can see: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/new-version-of-power-bi-report-server-now-available/
