DecoderCorruptedData Can't open .pbix file

I have a .pbix file that will not open. Error details are below. I was editing this file 2 days ago and am able to edit all of my other .pbix files, so the issue is not PowerBI Desktop itself. The data sources in this file are excel files and sql queries. I am able to successfully update my other .pbix files from the same data connection/sql credentials, so the data sources should not be the issue. Can anyone help me?

I'm running into this issue as well.  I tried doing what was suggested to fix it and that didn't help.  Anyone have any other advice?

Hi @JessicaRohrer 

 

Can you try the following things?

1. Update your Power BI Desktop to the latest version and try to open the file.  

2. Open Power BI Desktop application, sign out your account in top right corner of the app and close it. Then try to open the file. 

3. Open Power BI Desktop application, open data source settings and clear all permissions. Close the app. Then try to open the file.
