Models not supported in Power BI Report Server
Are you using the version of Desktop that is specifically targetted at Report Server? Does the app icon have an "RS" on it?
If you use this version of desktop it should not let you create reports that are not supported by the server.
Hello,
Yes, I use the Power BI Desktop version targetted at Report Server (as I already stated).
Yes, the icon has "RS" on it.
It was purely an informational statement. As I already noted this is probably just a bug in the old versions and the solution is most likely to upgrade to a more recent version where this problem does not exist.

Well you actually said that you use the version that "matched" it was not clear if this was the version targetted at Report Server or just the cloud version of desktop from the same month. (this is a common mistake people make which is why I was clarifying this)
Ah, OK, thank you, I was not aware of this 🙂
Your Solution is so great d_gosbell
Hi, MartinFM
As Super User said, you're confusing the two versions. You encountered this error when you opened a report that Power BI desktop did not have with the RS version in the RS version of Power BI desktop.
Your report contains a composite data source, which is an unsupported data source type in Power BI Report Server.This isn't a bug with Power BI report server. It's just that you opened a report that wasn't part of the RS version of Power BI desktop.
