Importing data from .RPT file

Hi! I'm a beginner in Power BI, and the demand arose to create a dashboard using a data file in ".rpt" format.

 

Could someone help me on how to import this type of file into PBI?

 

I use PBI DesktopVersion: 2,107,841.0 64-bit (July 2022)

 

Thank you very much for your attention

 

Best Regards,
