Error connecting to Tabular Editor - Compatibility Level

Hi, 

 

Within my report I am now unable to connect to Tabular Editor, when I try i get an error message that says - 

"The database compatibility level of 1601 is below the minimal compatibility level of 2147483647 needed for [model.Model].[table.Report1]. [measure 'Previous Month' in table 'Key Measures'].FormatStringDefinition at PowerBI mode.

Is there a way for me to change the compatibility level so this doesnt occur?

This only started when I started using dynamic format strings in my report, the new formatting for measures. 

Any advice appreciated.

They have updated support for this in the new version of Tabular Editor. So you just need to update

Its working for me in version 2.19.0
