I'm currently testing out the functionality of Power BI Report Server, which requires you to download a different version of Power BI Desktop (it's called Power BI Desktop Report Server). All of my Power BI Desktop reports currently use the "New table and matrix visuals" preview.
When I try to view these reports using Power BI Report Server, the "preview" table and matrix visualizations are blank. When I go to the Options menu in Power BI Desktop Report Server, there is no "Preview Features" menu item - so I don't see a way to turn this on. Is it possible to use preview features with PBI Report Server?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @smithochris,
As far as I know, it is not possible to use preview features(like Table/Matrix preview) with Power BI Desktop (Report Server) currently. ![]()

I just updated to the August release and it does not have any of the Preview Features outlined in the Release features
Bummer. OK, thanks for confirming.
Check out the April 2026 Power BI update to learn about new features.
