Target pbix file to previous version
Anonymous not sure if there is any solution for this until someone did some hacking with pbix which will not be recommended.

Unfortunately no, that doesn't solve it.
We get the error message when we open the file in the older client version. Installing the upgrade would certainly solve it, but we aren't able to do that in our managed environment. The requirement is to modify that PBIX file, so publishing to the service won't help, either.
What I am looking for is a way to convert (downgrade) the file, Save it As a prior version (compatibility mode??), or modify the file in some way so that the version check won't prevent the file from being loaded with the error.
Thanks!
Did you get a solution to this ? I have a similar situation now. I created a report in August version but everyone is having May version. They cannot see my report. Im afraid to unistall the latest version as i might lose the data. Please advise
Nothing satisfying - the only real answer is that everyone needs to keep upgrading continuously to ensure compatibility
