How can I import a .pbix file to PowerBi Desktop

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to import a .pbix file to PowerBi desktop application?

 

I haven't connect it to a PowerBi Service Because I have an login issue with that service and I have raised it under Service Forum.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi Chiransj,

 

PBIX file is not a data source which means you can not import it while you can open it directly using power bi.

Import means I want to import the charts, and the dashboard to the workspace so that I can publish them.
