    Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. i tried most of the steps however could not get this worked (some of them are restricted by IT as i can't see file history and previous version. Finally IT team managed to restore the previous version from backup yesterday and that file is working. I still have no idea how did it get corrupted as it happened first time.

Thanks, This does not work as i need this file to be opened first in order to convert into pbit.

    Hi Heenasaini, If you're using the latest Power BI Desktop, try opening the file in an older or newer version. Sometimes version mismatches cause corruption issues.
