Alignement between Power BI Service and Power BI Report Server

Hi all,

 

i've published some reports on the Power BI service (with Power BI Desktop July 2020 update) and i need to publish them also to our Power BI Report Server.

 

When i try to open the .pbix file with Power BI Desktop for Report Server i got the error message that the file is incompatible with the version of Power BI Desktop: i think that's because the latest version for Report Server is September 2019, right?

 

Own can i publish those .pbix files to our Report Server without rebuild them?

 

Thanks.

Francesco

      Hi FrancescoSCP ,

      yes thats because you enabled the metadata format in the previous features. Thats acutal not supported in Power BI Report Server. You can build this report again in the fitting desktop for RS - copy and paste all visuals - that should be easy - If you havn't that much measures. 🙂

        Hi Kathrin,

         

        thanks for the reply!

        With your suggestion i have also to rebuild the data model right? Is there a document that lists the limitations of Power BI Report Server againt the online service?

         

        I've tried also to open an older document but i've recived the error that many to many relationship is not supported....
