Unable to open pbix file

Hi,

 

I have downloaded the pbix file from app.powerbi.com. I'm unable to open it, getting an error message.

I'm using the latest version of Power BI.

  • I am facing the same issue saying the new vesion is not compatiable. Please someone let me know how to solve this as I have project to deliver tomorrow.

  • Can you please try saving the PBIX file in the Service again and then try openning with latest Desktop version. If this does not help, can you share a sample report with me directly at [email protected].

     

    Thanks,

    Alex Gorev

    Hi AlexGorev , It is not working. Since it is confidential data, I can't share it. I'm facing issues with only this file. Unfortunately, I lost the previous version and have to redevelop the report.

    it seems Power BI Desktop ( Version: 2.69.5467.2151 64-bit (May 2019) )
    corrupts files at saving.

    i just made the experiment of opening a copy of a working report, click save and closed the file just to get an error trying to open it again.

    My reports only use one data source, a direct query sql data source, on the sql server side i can see all the failed login attepts for user '' (blank), at the same momen i have tryied to open the damaged files, so the data source information works except for the credentials that seems not to be saved correctly.

    I get the same errors if i download a pbix copy of a published report, i cant get it to open the file, nor i get prompted to enter valid credentials nor it opens the report file so i can use the query edition tools to fix the querys.
