"Unable to open document, this query was created by a newer version of Power BI"

Hello

One of my co-workers is getting a strange error when he tries to open a Power BI report.

The report was created back in March and he has 2018 May version of Power BI installed.

 

But somehow Power BI thinks that the version he is using is too old or the rerort was created in newer version of PBI.

The error is in Japanese so its a rough translation by me though.

 

Could not find anything related to this by googling. 

 

Does anyone have simimlar experienes like this ?

Hi @Anonymous

The Power BI report was created in an old version, but can’t open it with a new version of May, right?  

Does the earlier version using direct query or do you add some query to the earlier version like expanding column in Query Editor?

 

Best Regards

Maggie
