Advocate IOn premise Power BI report server and desktop programs
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

Community ChampionShaWo there is a specific power bi desktop for SSRS

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

vanessafvg Yup, that was what I was afraid of. Thinking in advance, having two different programs for different publishing venues makes it difficult to understand for the regular user. And not even talking about the file association with pbix files and different desktop programs.
