Unexpected error encountered while saving Power BI Desktop report in Power BI reporting server

When I am trying to save my Power BI report which I have created in Power BI Desktop to Power BI Reporting Server it is throwing me an error like "Error: Unexpected error encountered". So I was uploading all my Power BI Desktop reports directly into Power BI Reporting Server thorugh upload option in server. So why isn't the "Save As" option in Power BI Desktop working for me?

 

Thanks for your answer

Hi tbalani,

Unfortunately you did not provide enough information for us to help you.

  1. Is there any more info provided by the error message?
  2. Are you using "Power BI Desktop for Report Server"? (you stated "Power BI Desktop" - it is not the same)
  3. You can check out the logs created by Power BI Desktop for more info
  4. You can also check the Power BI Report Server logs for info
