Compatibility Power BI Desktop for Report Server & Power BI Desktop files
I was just able to open a Power BI report server report made with 2018 August update with the latest PBI Desktop. Published to the PBI service and worked with no issue. Happy to see this worked as we are likely migrating PBI Report Server to the service in the coming year.

Did I miss the actual solution to this issue in any of the responses?
I still cannot open a file saved with PowerBI Desktop app (July 2019) using the PowerBI Report Server app (May 2019).
Microsoft releases an update such as the July Desktop version and there is no message warning users that all files will become incompatible with all exisitng PowerBI Report Server versions (since May is the latest version and it still does not work).

Hi Wesen
Thanks for the information.
This means that May/2019 is the current latest verison of PowerBI desktop that can be used, if the user will also publish the same file to a Report Server.
