Modifying the Layout file that is embedded in a pbix file
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!
Hi
When I try to just remove the "<Override PartName="/SecurityBindings" ContentType="" />" in the [Content_Types].xml root file and try to re construct the pbix by zipping the file, still I am unable to open the file. Please advise.
Try deleting the Security Bindings file rather than removing this code.
Also, when you say zipping the file... See my comment above. The extracted file should not be re-zipped. Instead, the extracted Layout file should be updated and then copied into the original .zip folder (Delete Security Bindings file from here). This should then be renamed back to .pbix
