I opened a PowerBI file on the PowerBI Desktop (Version: 2.123.742.0 64-bit (2023年11月)) that worked fine before. I can still load the .pbix file and also refresh its data (using OData and Excel). However, I can't save or publish it. Saving leads to the error
Error getting value from 'Location' on 'Microsoft.PowerBI.Client.Windows.GraphService.CloudOdspPbixF
Publishing it leads to:
Illegal characters in path.
Any idea what it could be?
Thanks!
can you save it as another file? are you saying you can't save it to your desktop?

No, I can't save it anywhere, it always errors - publishing with the first, saving with the second error. The dashboard itself shows in in BI Desktop app and I can also refresh the data from the sources. I tried "Save" and "Save as" and nothing works.
it does seem like it could be a bug, have you tried to uninstall and reinsall? if not contact microsoft support https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
i would also maybe clear your cache
If it is the report itself, then go to File-Options and Settings - Options , Under Global, select Data Load and select "clear cache" under "Data Cache Management Options" and select "clear cache" under "Q&A Cache Options" and select "clear cache" under "FOlded Artifacts Cache Options".
