Hi All,
I need a way to download a version of Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Report Server) that is compatible with this version of the report server. Looking on the archive link, the downlaods don't seem to go back far enough. When I try to download it from the report server itself, it redirects me to the download the latest version which is not compatable with the report files on the server.
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Sam
Solved! Go to Solution.
Figured it out. You can use the normal PowerBI desktop version. (Not Optimized for report server) as long as it's the same range. (Sept 2022)..etc
You can edit and save off reports and then upload them to the report server with little issue.
You can find archived versions of PowerBI Desktop here: (https://zenatti.net/)
So far has been working for me, Answering just to keep the answer here.
