Error opening definition.pbir: Matrix cannot be null

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 14:30:28 GMT

Hi everyone,

We are using power bi git integration to keep track of all the versions of our datasets and reports. I have encountered an error with one of the reports (so far, only with this one) where I cannot open the definition.pbir file because it says "the matrix cannot be null. name of the parameter: bytes".

I have tried disconnecting the workspace from git, removing the workspace folder from git and connecting again anf the issue is still ongoing.

Has anyone had this issue before? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Fixed:
I downloaded the folders from the github repo directly and the error changed to "Unsupported column name "XXXX " has been found in table schema". This led me to this thread and the issue is solved after changing a column name: Power BI Git Clone Error Message: Unsupported Meas... - Microsoft Fabric Community
