    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...
