Unable to save autorecovered file

‎02-08-2021 10:15 AM

Hello, 

 

I was working in a PowerBI desktop when my computer unexpectedly crashed. When I opened the autorecovery file, the file was opened under the name "Untitled" rather than the name it was previously saved under. The weird part is that when I went to save the "Untitled" file containing all my data and visualizations under a new file name, when I later went to open that file - all the visualizations and dashboards had disappeared. Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried saving it under multiple names, various times and still end up with a blank PBIX file upon reopening.

@Anonymous before you save, does it shows you all the visuals? what is your data source?

Before I save, it shows me all the visuals - I'm connected to big query throught ODBC. This happens to me with multiple types of data sources
