Hi,
I would like to know how can I develop my reports directly in the Power BI server without the need to install Power BI Desktop and being forced to use my desktop's memory capacity. I'd greatly appreciate your guidance on this issue.
Thank you!
Ariadna

To the best of my knowledge, Power BI Report Server lacks any kind of authoring capabilities. Even in the Service, authoring capabilties are limited. Perhaps you could spin up a VM in Azure and run Desktop there?

Thank you so much, Greg, I really appreciate your guidance! I'll try that route!
