title: How to publish a (.pbix) report from Power BI Desktop directly to a Power BI Report Server (on-premises)
body: <p>I've created a report in the "<strong>Power BI Desktop optimized for Power BI Report Server (October 2017)</strong>" app and want to deploy it directly to local Power BI Report Server instance but can't find a way to do that.</p>
  
  <p>I found a page on Microsoft Docs called <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/quickstart-create-powerbi-report" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"Quickstart: Create a Power BI report for Power BI Report Server"</a> and there is a Step 2.4 called "<strong>Power BI Report Server Selection</strong>" (below) that is a part of the <strong>Get Data</strong> wizard which I do not have in my case.</p>

  <p>In my case I have <strong>Get Data -> Analysis Services -> "SQL Server Analysis Server database" window -> "Navigator" window -> Ok</strong> and that's all</p>
  
  <p>Finally I had to just save .pbix file locally and upload it manually to <strong>Power BI Report Server</strong>.</p>
