Hi @yellowold5 

 

It appears that you want to open the .Pb files downloaded from public services in power bi.

 

A pb file is a Power BI Desktop file that contains data models, queries, and visualizations for Power BI reports.

 

To import a pb file into Power BI, you can follow these steps:

 

Open Power BI Desktop.


Click File > Open, and then select the pb file you want to import.


Power BI Desktop opens the file and displays the report.


You can modify, save, or publish the report as needed.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps to import a pb file into Power BI Service:

 

Log in to Power BI Service.

 

Click Get Data > File, and then select the pb file you want to import.

 

Select whether you want to import or connect to a file.

 

The Power BI service uploads the file and creates datasets and reports based on the file.


You can edit, share, or refresh the report as needed.
