Power BI Desktop November 2018 version - Backward compatibility
PBIX saved in November 2018 is unable to open in earlier version October 2018. Throwing incompatible error and forcing to update. Is there any solution ?
It happened with me as well. I have saved the file last time in Nov 18 version and now it cannot be opened in previous versions from my colleagues.
Another issue that I have seen between versions are problems regarding formatting. For instance, the chart title just disappears and the background color of a chart/slices changes if its opened in an older version.
It's kind of weird if you have to send your file to 15 people and then ask them to update their PowerBI version because of incompatibility reasons. Specially because there is a new version released really often.
