COALESCE not working on Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Report Server

I used the COALESCE function which was working fine on Power BI Desktop (Personal), but was not recognized in the Report Server version. Is this a bug? Thanks.image_2020_04_18T10_54_39_861Z.png

Probably not, Report Server Desktop version lags the usual Desktop version, sometimes by 3 or 4 months. So, since the COALESCE function is so new, RS version simply does not have it yet.
