    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.

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.
