    It depends how old the version of Report Server is that you are targeting. There are a few modelling features like many-to-many relationships and aggregations which are not currently supported in Report Server. And there are possibly a few newer visuals or features in visuals which may not be available. Report Server also does not support any features that are in preview status.
