I have tested it on my local environment, we cannot reproduce this issue.

 

In your scenario, which version of the Power BI Dekstop do you run? Please update it to the latest one then check if you can save the .PBIX file.

Also please enable tracing on Power BI Desktop: File –> Options –> Diagnostics –> Enable Tracing to check if you can find the detail message. For more information, please refer to this article: Power BI Desktop Trace Logs Analyser.

 

Please provide us more information about your report, so that we can try to reproduce this issue and make further analysis.

 

Regards,

Charlie Liao

    Maybe this could be of help (posted this answer on another thread).

    For me the error appeared when an image was added to the pbix.

     

    The error appears if the image name contains special characters (in my case Swedish letter ä). When changing the image name to just use English letters then the report saves without problem.

    Hi,

     

    I'm able to reproduce the error by adding dax calendar to report - before adding calendar saving .pbix works as expected.

     

    1st attempt to save .pbix:

     

    Feedback Type:
    Frown (Error)

    Error Message:
    Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'Login failed for user ''.. The exception was raised by the IDbConnection interface.
    A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of '****'.

     

    2nd attempt:

     

     

    PBI version: 2.66.5376.1681 64-bit (February 2019)
