UNICHAR function on Report Server

Hi there

I am using PowerBI June 2017 designer for On-Prem powerbi. I notice that UNICHAR function doesnt exist in this version. Can you advice if I have done something wrong or this is the limitation?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Based on my test in Power BI report server August version, the UNICHAR function works well.

Hmm, not entirely sure when that function was introduced but sounds like a limitation. Maybe try the August version.

Thank you... but August version required August Report Server do I understand this correctly?

 

Correct, but you should still be able to test out the August RS Desktop version to see if it is in there. And I think it is pretty easy upgrade from June to August Power BI RS.
