Hi Thiyagu1,

 

In your scenario, if you open the .PBIX file, you can click Refresh button to get updated data from Excel file. 

 

 

As you mentioned, you can't refresh successfully, is there any error throws out?  Also can you make sure which file you are opening to refresh data, .PBIX file or .PBIT  file?

 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

      Hi Thiyagu1,

       

      Which Power BI Desktop version did you run? The latest version is 2.39.4526.362, please check if the same issue occurs in this version.

       

      As you mentioned "I couldn't save the .PBIX file, it saves as paint image and am umable to open", how about you save a new report as .PBIX use the latest desktop version? If issue persists, please share detail steps or screenshots with us to reproduce the issue.
