@RsimonAlign , if the pbix is made on the database connection, it is not able to connect to that. If the file is opening. Go to data transformation/ edit query mode. You should see detailed error

Hi @RsimonAlign ,

 

So you mean when you open the .pbix file generated by the latest version with Jan 2020 version of PBI Desktop, an error will be reported?

This situation is possible.

i tried to reinstalled but it still not working ...

I can't open it

hi @RsimonAlign - Just for my understanding - the report file that you are trying to open, what kind of connection does it have - Direct Query or Import? Thanks!
