Error message while opening report in Power Bi Desktop
Hello All,
I have build a report in Power Bi Desktop and published it online . All the data used to build the report is saved on my organization SharePoint online. I have added some new files on SharePoint and wanted to refresh the report but I have been trying since three days and cannot succeed opening the report. the size of the report is only 1.74 MB and all my other PBIx files are opening.
I need your help on this please. and how can I refresh the report on the power bi service without opening the PBIx file as the data on the SharePoint folder will be updated monthly.
Please find the file that is not opening attached. I am using a new LENOVO Thinkpad T14s as laptop and have enough memory.
Thank very much in advance for your help

You need to check the difference between your colleague and your computer configuration and powerbi version,or try to uninstall the software and reinstall. If the modification can be done on your colleague’s computer, it’s not a pbi file problem.

Anonymous , there is no file attached. Have you configured Dataset refresh and provided datasource credential under Datasource setting?
Hi, Anonymous
What does it mean that the report can't be opened successfully, Is there a screenshot of the error message?
If you want to refresh data without open the pbix file, you need to download a gateway and set schedule refresh.

Hello v-janeyg-msft ,
Please find in the screenshot above the error message that I got while trying to open the report today. Sometimes I just got a blank page. Please note that I have two other report larger than this one that are still opening fine.
Indeed I need to set up a scheduled refresh, but I have a final transformation to add to do in Power query that is why I need to open the report. On another note, can the schedule report being set up even if the data is stored on my Org SharePoint?
Thank you very much in advance.

Did you install 32-bit pbi desktop? Try to install 64-bit latest version.
