Hi,
I'm getting this error when trying to open a specific pbix file with Power BI Desktop. Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi anttipekkarinen,
System.IO.InvalidDataException function means that a compressed data stream is in a format that is not valid.
Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241600.aspx
Besides, could you please share more details about the special PBIX file, was it compressed?
In addition, check to see if the following article would help:

Hi,
I have the same problem, see the details copied below. My pbix file got corrupted after i renamed the file. After renaming it back, it was still corrupted. Any idea what may have caused this?
Thanks!
David
