Can Power BI Data model built using PowerBI desktop 1500 Compatibility level be deployed to SSAS

[NewUser777]

I have XMLA script which creates a database with compatibility level 1500. I want to know if I can use the XMLA script to deploy the database on my machine local which has SSAS instance (tabular) deployed .

My local server details

SQL Server Management Studio 15.0.18424.0
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) 16.100.47021.0+7eef34a564af48c5b0cf0d617a65fd77f06c3eb1
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 15.0.19750.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.22000.1219
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 10.0.22000

My first execution attempt failed saying :

Executing the query ...
Power BI datasets using M based data source format are only supported in Power BI Premium services.
Run complete

Therefore I changed compabiltibilty level to 1400 but I got another error

Executing the query ...
The JSON DDL request failed with the following error: Unrecognized JSON property: defaultPowerBIDataSourceVersion. Check path 'model.defaultPowerBIDataSourceVersion', line 12, position 43..
Run complete

when I looked into the defaultPowerBIDataSourceVersion in XMLA it is  "defaultPowerBIDataSourceVersion": "powerBI_V3"

My main goal is to recreate the model on SSAS Tabular local version . Is this possible?

AFAIK, XMLA feature only work for premium capacity, are you test with a dataset that host in premium capacity?
