Publish report created on Power BI Desktop (regular) on Power bi Report Server.

Hello, my question is simple: There is any way to be able to publish on my report server reports that i've created on the "regular" Power BI Desktop? 

I have some reports that i want to publish on Service and share it with several people that have Pro License but I also want to publish them in my on premise Report Server (like that, other people in my company that doesn't have Pro License can check data). Is this possible? 

 

Thank you in advance.

Could you try opening the pbix with the desktop editor for your version of Report Server? If so, then you should be able to do a "Save As" to Power BI report server?

You don't need the special version as long as you are careful not to use unsupported features.  Report Server will upload it just fine.  I know because I just tested it.

Pull the report into Power BI for Report Server, then push to Report Server is the 'safest' way.  But you could also just upload it in the Report Server from the portal.
