Power BI Desktop missing features
- 8 years ago
Hi Anonymous
For you 2 first questions, it's because PowerBI Desktop is only there to create report, not dashboards.
Creating reports on Desktop is more easy and it's more powerful with a lot more options.
For you last 2 questions, I will someone else answer them because I've never used PBI for that yet

Do you think Power BI Desktop will ever have such capabilities/features? If our company already pays for an on premise Power BI Report server, then I would expect being able to use this functionality. Making this only available in the Cloud, for a company requires additional money as you need to pay for users/licenses, plus you still encounter the security concerns of moving your reports/dashboards to the cloud, something that many companies are not prepared to do yet. Thanks for your response and help.
Is it possible to upload a report created in Desktop to Power BI service?
Yes it is possible, and apparently it is 100% safe (according to microsoft)
You have to use the "Publish" button on the desktop version (and the report will appear on PowerBI serice)
