Advocate IOn premise Power BI report server and desktop programs
Microsoft EmployeeHi ShaWo
I'm pretty sure you use the same Power BI Desktop application to author reports for both onpremise and web-service reports.
Advocate IEdit: Forgot to say Thank you Phil_Seamark :)
Okay, that sounds good. It just gets pretty confusing when half of the documentation speaks of "Power bi desktop" and half of "Power BI desktop optimized for power bi report server"
Examples of both

Thank you vanessafvg, I'm aware of this and this is the source of all the confusion for me, since different sources within microsoft refer to different programs. For example the two documents I linked in my previous message

i think it has to do with the configuration of publishing, its a different config to publish to ssrs vs to the service. so i am sure you could develop in both however when you want to publish that might be where you have an issue
