Hi All,
I am currently having trouble opening a "new" PBIX file, which was created in the latest version of the PowerBI Desktop.
I am trying to open this PBIX file in an older version of the PowerBI Desktop Application.
Does anyone know how I can solve this issues as I cannot update the version of PowerBI Desktop on the system that I have created the PBIX file for?
Error Message -
'H:\Downloads\test.pbix' is incompatible with your current version of Microsoft Power BI Desktop. Please install the latest version and try opening the document again.
Hi @philtala.
As smoupr said, it is impossible to use older version open the pbix file which create by newest version.
There are many new features and bug fix update which older version not contains. I'd like to suggest you re-create the report with original data source.

Hi @philtala,
>>You would of thought a backwards compatible file would be something basic.
But which you mentioned is old version can support the newest version feature. Current power bi new version can support older version pbix file.
