Modifying Layout file inside pbix
I have 25 reports attached to 1 dataset. this dataset has 250 measures that have all been renamed. each report has multiple pages and each page has multiple visuals utlizing a great number of meaus...
Came across this post while googling for something unrelated. If you do these steps:
1) rename your file.pbix to file.zip
2) extract it
3) delete the SecurityBindings file
4) edit the JSON inside the Report\Layout file
5) select everything that was extracted from the zip and choose Send To.. Compressed Folder (if you extracted to a folder, do not put the whole folder in a zip, put the folder contents into the zip. When you open the zip file, you should have a Report folder and some other files in the root of the zip file)
6) rename the resulting zip back to pbix
It's the deleting the SecurityBindings file that prevents the "file was encrypted/corrupted/created in an unknown version of PBI" message
