Hi @Elina_Mirin ,

 

Was there any action taken before the .pbix file was corrupted? Do other .pbix have the same situation?

See if you can find the pre-corruption version of the file in this folder.

C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\AutoRecovery
C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\TempSaves\

 

Best Regards,

Hello @Elina_Mirin 

As per my knowledge I only know a single way and that is to download that PBI file from Power Bi Service if you've published it though.
Thanks & Regards...
