Need to download older version of PowerBI

Hi,

I am in desparate need of the Power BI August 2020 (2.84.981.0) 64 bit version. 

 

I tried chocolatey but that didn't work. 

Would be very grateful if someone could provide a direct link to the dowload file. Thank you so much.

@ahmadshah  You're in luck, I dug these out of my downloads folder, and two happen to be from Aug 2020. They are slowly uploading but you'll have them soon in this folder, with date I downloaded them in _yyyymmdd format within the filename. https://excelwithallisonmvp.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/Training/Ek4sCJaik_1Lnz9QWRuKcdkBMCuNq_GGJu-myiwXIm... 

 

UPDATE: They have uploaded so you should have access now @ahmadshah , just try refreshing the page if you get that Specified List is Invalid error - I've been having that issue with SharePoint a few times today but refresh seems to solve.

Wow. You're a life saver !! 😄
Just waiting for them to upload now. Thank you so much again !! 🙂

It says the following though: "Specified List is invalid. The specified list might have been deleted or you might not have permission to use it". Would you be able to help out with that @AllisonKennedy .

Hey. Thanks but this one doesn't have August 2020 versions or before that time unfortunately.

Hi @ahmadshah ,

 

I can clearly see on the above link that I shared, there is August 2020 version:
