Update version without losing reports
Hi,
I have developed several reports using the Power BI version from December 2019. But my colleague updated to the February 2021 version and cannot open my reports.
Does this mean if I updated to February 2021, I would lose all of my reports?
This seems like a serious restriction, as my organisation would effectively never be able to update the product without a considerable amount of time spent on re-creating every report.
Any clarification or ideas to deal with this problem would be really appreciated
Anonymous , I think, you should able to reach here in 2-3 jump. But not 100% sure(I have not tried, so can not commit). Metadata enhancement is one I remember is going to create some challenges. So in between jump can help

Anonymous , seem like not updated for a long time.
Try to update to an in-between release ( before metadata enhancement rolled out). Open report and check and then move to more latest version
You can find the old releases here
