Why i can't transform the data of a pbix file that I have not created?

Whenever I open a pbix file that I have not created, it always shows an error and I cannot transform the data of that pbix file.

Hi @Josuenvz 
Because the source is not on your machine.
If you have the csv's that are sources just modify the path from the screens that you shared.
You need to repeat this on all the tables one by one
