Hi All, I have to upload Pbit file to workspace in powerbi portal.

I have tried uploading pbit file in workspace, as its supports only .pbix, .xlsx, .rdl files. That workspace has premium capacity. is there any options or settings to make .pbit file to upload in powerbi.com

Unfortunately, .pbit files cannot be directly uploaded to the Power BI service, even if you have a Premium Capacity workspace. The .pbit file is a Power BI Desktop template file that is used to create new reports, and it does not contain any data or connections to data sources.

To upload a report to the Power BI service, you need to save it as a .pbix file from Power BI Desktop. The .pbix file contains all the report data and the connection information to data sources. You can then upload the .pbix file to your Premium Capacity workspace.

If you have already created a report in Power BI Desktop using a .pbit file, you can save it as a .pbix file by following these steps:

1. Open the .pbit file in Power BI Desktop.

2. Click on the "Save As" button in the Home tab.

3. In the "Save As" dialog box, select "Power BI Desktop file" as the file type.

4. Choose a location to save the .pbix file and click "Save".

You can then upload the .pbix file to your Premium Capacity workspace in the Power BI service.

Hi. That's not possible. Pbit it's a template file. PowerBi Service render developed files. You can turn your pbit to pbix to import it.

Maybe if you explain us what is it that you would like to do with a pbit at service we might help you think an approach to the issue.

I hope that helps,

Okay. Thanks for the info. Actually i'm trying to convert pbit file into pbix in .Net to upload pbix file in powerbi portal

There is no standard for doing that. Only opening the pbit and saving it as pbix. Unless you research how the pbit is built from inside like the pbix changing the extension to zip and create a code rebuilding that for windows to understand it, I don't think there is a way of doing this with .net

You can also explore if there is an external tool over business ops or internet to help you with something like that. I haven't seen one.
