Issue: "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model"

Hello everyone,

 

since today I am facing the Problem that I cannot open ALL of my Power BI .pbix files. 

I am always facing the same alert, which say "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model"

 

If anyone has a solution, I would be really thankful. 🙂

Thanks everyone for your help and replies!

 

Actually it helped to "downdate" Power bi to the previous version.. 

Since this was a little struggle, I will wait for the next up-update.

Hi,

 

I think you should update your Power BI Desktop to the latest verison(2.78.5740.721).
