Hi ahmedshalabyy12,
Thanks for getting back.yes, that TempSaves folder path you shared is definitely worth checking. If Power BI Desktop closed unexpectedly, it sometimes saves a temporary version of your file there. Just go to that folder and look for the most recent file. if you are lucky, you might find a working copy that you can open directly in Power BI Desktop.

Since you have already saved your semantic model using Tabular Editor, you are on the right track. Just remember, when you open it in a new Power BI file, it only brings the structure not the actual data. To see the data again, you will need to refresh the model either by using Power BI Service or by reconnecting your data sources in Power BI Desktop.

Hope this helps if you have any queries we are  happy to assist you further.
Regards,
Harshitha.
