Yes there is, and for the Report Server version of PBI, the month of the version of the Desktop designer matches with the version of the Report Server itself. 

 

Easy to check as you may well know is to look at the top bar's text to check what version you are on.

    Hi mpsrshl 

     

    Thnxx, I don't know how to check the version of the report server itself. 
    Do you mean when I'm connect to the Report Server service ? 

    Sorry if it's a dumb question ! 

     

     

    Thanks by advance,

      this is RS version:

       

      this is Desktop (no month name):

       

      You can create a report in Desktop version then upload it to Report server but it could be not compatible if you are using newest functionality

       

      do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution

        Ok and how can I download the 2017's version of Desktop RS ? 

        Because, when I'm on Microsoft, I don't have the choice, it's downloading the most recent version available. 

        Thanks by advance,
