We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model

Uhm... uhm... My Pbix file 'crashed'... months of work. Also, I can't download the Service version due some 'features' (probably incremental).

Maybe you could restore a previous version from your file system.

Hello @mwegener 

Appears that support of Power BI isn't responding anymore. Don't know why. 

I've reached out to my IT department and they managed to retrieve my older version from the server. 

 

I'm still not satisfied, this shouldn't happen in the first place. Anyway, thank you for supplying the answer to my problem.

Hi @DouweMeer 

 

I would first create a support ticket.

@mwegener 

I'm going to try both. Hopefully one will succeed. I will update the post when one of them was succesful.
