PD: I've had this problem with the same file, even if you had a backup to another hard disk.
I also have this issue!
Anyone seen a fix for this yet? The idea of rebuilding my whole file from scratch is terifying!
Can you downgrade your file to a previous version?
long shot but might be worth trying the suggestion in this thread - http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Is-there-a-migration-path-between-Power-BI-Designer-file-and-a/td-p/118

I downgraded my version of PowerBI Desktop, and it works now. Version: 2.28.4190.122. Guess I'll wait for the next version before upgrading again.
If you want to create a quick and dirty back up, pressing the "send a frown" option dumps alot of stuff from your report into an email, you can then save as txt to give you some sort of chance of recovering from disaster with a bit less pain.
