Models not supported in Power BI Report Server

Yes, I use the Power BI Desktop version targetted at Report Server (as I already stated).
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.

I am not confusing the two versions. I am absolutely clear about the two versions. In fact, I am not using the cloud version of Power BI Desktop so it should be pretty difficult to confuse them.
Let me reiterate:
I am using the Power BI Desktop version with RS on the icon that is targeted at the Report Server version (January 2021). So both server and Power BI Desktop client is version January 2021.
I have created the model in the mentioned Power BI Desktop version, I have deployed the report including the model to the report server, the report works fine and is running as we speak. When I try to open the report in Power BI Desktop (January 2021 version with the RS on the logo), I get an error that the client does not support the report anymore.

Hi, MartinFM
Thank you very much for your reply. I made a simple PBIX file and opened it with Power BI Desktop RS to reproduce your error:
The main cause of this error is when I open a report in mix mode in Power BI desktop RS version. It has nothing to do with the Power BI desktop RS version. Because I'm using the May 2024 version.
You can open your report with the desktop version without RS to check if it is in mix mode.
