Hi ahmedshalabyy12 ,

Try below method:

Rebuild Local File by Scripting from Service

 

  • Open Tabular Editor (2.x or 3.x).

  • Connect to your dataset via XMLA:

    powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/YourWorkspaceName
     

  • Select your semantic model, it opens the full data model.

  • File → Save to Folder (creates a folder-based Tabular Model).

  • OR: File → Save As .bim file

    Then:

    • Open Power BI Desktop

    • Create a new file

    • Use External Tools > Tabular Editor to inject the saved model back into a fresh .pbix.
