Modifying the Layout file that is embedded in a pbix file
I know how to disassemble a pbix file by changing the extension to .zip and then oening it. If I then change the extension back to .pbix I can then open it in Power BI. However, I would like to mod...
I was struggling with this issue recently, and my solution is the following:
- Change the extension from ".pbix" to ".zip"
- Do not unzip the ".zip" file during this process
- Extract the "Layout" file from the "Report" folder in the ".zip" file
- Open the "Layout" file with Notepad++. (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Make your modifications in the Layout file
- Substitute the old "Layout" file with the new one
- Delete "SecurityBindings" file in the ".zip" file
- In the [Contents_type].xml delete the following text:
"<Override PartName="/SecurityBindings" ContentType="" />"
- Change the extension from ".zip to ".pbix"
- The file will open without breaks
Hope it helps!
