    It is because the sample file is created by a previous version of pbi desktop rs.

    This issue is only with the 2022 sep desktop version. You can use the 2022 may version to use custom visuals as a gap fit.

Hi Gianluca88 ，

For the time being, there are some limitations of Report Server, with reference to the following：

  • Can’t create reports in the browser
  • There are no dashboards
  • There are no datasets, so no sharing between reports
  • Can’t create content packs
  • Can’t analyze in Excel
  • Can't have many-to-many relationships
  • No quick insights
  • No data alerts
  • No full-screen mode
  • No R visuals
  • No preview features
  • Less updates and improvements
  • Some custom visuals from the Microsoft Power BI Community do not work

 

And you could test publish it to Power BI Server,refer:

Best Regards

    v-luwang-msft I am sorry but this answer is simply not appropriate. The problem here is that the *current* version of Power BI RS Desktop is not compatiblke with the *current* version of Resport Server (September 2022). You can not simply say that there are "some limitations" when this is clearly an API level mismatch with custom visuals, solved by downgrading to the May client. Its a bug and needs to be addressed ASAP.

    Hi v-luwang-msft ,

     

    thanks for your precious answer. 

    Only one point turns out to be strange for me. Why the same custom visual works on PBIRS if it is a published from a report (say, A) and, on other hands, does not work if it is published from another report (say,B).  

    Here you can download sample report A Find the right app | Microsoft AppSource where the custom visual does actually works on PBIRS. I don't understand why this sample report does not give me issues. 

     

    Thanks,

    g

      Hi, are A and B PBI Desktop RS in different machines?

        Hi jcaranibar ,

         

        no both in the same machine. I also tried to create from scratch a new report, but it does not work. Only the sample report I downloaded from Microsoft App Source seems to properly work.

         

        Thanks,
