Power BI Folder Connection : Changing Path throwing error "File Contains Corrupted Data"
Hi, Anonymous
Try the following steps:
1. Uninstall the desktop version
2. Delete the Cache and CEF folders in the paths as below.- C:\Users\Username\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App
- C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
3. Reinstall Power BI and try again
Another possible explanation is that the file is password protected and not corrupted.
Try to remove workbook protection "Restrict access"
