I made a report through the old version of power bi. A while ago I received a message to update the version. I removed the Power bi desktop program and installed it as Power bi in the Microsoft store. But I can't open the old report. Message like this "ExecuteXmla failed with result"
Hi @aonmann ,
Please uninstall all versions of power bi desktop in your computer and delete all related files, download the latest version of power bi desktop.
If you download from microsoft store, make sure your report is opened by the created version becasue different version could not open the old report. Set one of the version as the default application to open .pbix file.
Refer: Change default programs in Windows 10
