Older versions of Power BI Desktop

Hey,

 

I am trying to download an older copy of Power BI Desktop (ver 2.35) to be precise but I couldn't find it on the Official Microsoft web site.

Any Ideas? or does anybody have that particular version?

 

We should have a kind of an archive for older versions for testing purposes.

 

Thank you

I was looking for a previous release and came across this thread.

Just to update people - the official previous releases page does now have links to downloadable previous versions.

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/desktop-latest-update-archive?tabs=powerbi-d...

 

It's a little confusing as each release section contains the standard download call-out that points to the current release.

However at the very bottom of each release's notes, i.e. just before the previous month's header, you get the actual links.

 

Apparently they have removed them

Microsoft actually has a list of old versions. Just scroll down to the end of each version. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-latest-update-archive 

@Anonymous, the 'old versions' on that page are just a set of descriptions detailing the updates, not the update or installer files themselves. We need the older installer files themselves.

Hi @ChristoLagali7,

 

You can find some old versions here.

 

Thanks

Hello @zenatti, how can I get the 2024 version, which was version 1.21.9032.4573 (September 2024)

Thank you very much @zenatti for the archive 🙂

Thank you @zenatti for sharing the old archives.

 

I have been banging my head since so many days trying to connect to salesforce reports. The issue was with the latest version of power Bi which is not supporting it

 

I downloaded old Power Bi desktop and all of it got resolved.... Now i am able to connect to salesforce reports.

 

Thanks
