How to update a Desktop PBIX with ALM Toolkit

Question

Does ALM Toolkit work with PBIX files?&nbsp;I've created a very simple source file with one table and an empty target file, and I get an error message saying ALM Toolkit can't create tables in Power BI Desktop files&nbsp;Perhaps it's that simple - but I thought that the integration of ALM Toolkit with Power BI Desktop was because it&nbsp;was made compatible with PBIX&nbsp;Where have I gone wrong?&nbsp;

Hi guys, i have same question. I m trying to migrate SSAS Tabular model to Power BI desktop with ALM Toolkit: Source SSAS Tab and target Power BI Desktop instance :&nbsp;PBI Desktop: localhost:64693;test=&gt; test is empty pbixi got thir error :&nbsp;The target is a Power BI Desktop dataset with default data-source version of PowerBI_V1, which is not supported for comparison. Please Ensure you're using the latest version of Power BI desktop and if necessary enable the preview feature.

Thanks - you're right, it's there&nbsp;ALM Toolkit doesn't work (e.g. merging differences) if you're on Power BI Pro, you need to have Premium
