MP_123 once you've updated power bi desktop you can't go back to the previous version.
ankitpatira Are you sure about this? I've seen many threads where people have reverted back by downloading the previous version. I can understand maybe if you create a report in the new version it may have some elements not compatible with the old one and break like OP said. I can test this out, but I'm in the middle of building an infographic that is taking a really long time and don't want to break it :)
Anonymous from where can you download older version ?
The official download link only provides the latest version Power BI Desktop. So you can't downgrade unless you save the previous version installers.
Regards,
This is where you download old versions. Power BI is so badly managed. Horrible that this doesn't come up on google. The only reason I have it is because of a support ticket I had my employer submit on my behalf and I bookmarked it because its so hard to find.
