Unable to upload the Power BI server report with the March 2018 version

Anonymous — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 22:27:00 GMT

Hi All,

I recently downloaded the latest March 2018 version of Power BI report but the report I created recently in this version is not getting uplaoded to the server and gives the below error:

"We can't save this Power BI Desktop report because either it is newer version or has component parts"

Can someone please assist on how to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Please make sure that you are using March 2018 version of Power BI Desktop that ships with the server release. Also, do you get this error for all reports or only specific ones?

Thanks for the response.

So, to upload a report that is created using a Power BI Desktop March 2018 version, I need to have the March Power BI report server installed, only then the upload will be allowed. Is that right?

Make sure the Power BI Desktop version you're using (client app for report creation) matches or is "less than" the version you have installed on the actual report server. See my blog post on this error message for step-by-step guidance.
