Hello fellow report builders,
I ran into a very odd problem today.
When I open my working PBIX file and I save the file, the file gets corrupted. I compared the two PBIX files as a zip file and i found out that whenever I save the PBIX file, the files "Metadata" and "Settings" get corrupted.
I am completely clueless of what has happened to cause this. Earlier today I was able to change and save the file. But now when I open and save it again it gets corrupted.
I also tried to create a completely new report and just by connection live to my Azure Analysis Services and saving the file, it gets corrupted again on the same files within...
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Jos

@Anonymous - See if this thread helps, there are 4 pages of discussion:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/PBIX-file-corrupted/td-p/14358
@Greg_Deckler - I've read the discussion and tried out the solutions without success. I was able to replace the corrupted files, but after saving it, the problem occurs again. I don't think its a good solution to change the file to zip, replace files, change back to pbix on every change I make to the file. Restarting the AAS also had no impact. Hopefully there are some more ideas.

@Daviejoe , I ended up installing that exact version and it indeed solved the problem. Still left me clueless of what had happend. So Thank you for clarifying that it is an issue with the August release.
@Anonymous No worries, I usually can't wait to install the new version but I've been so busy I've not had the chance, will wait a few days until I hear its all sorted.
Thanks
Dave
