Are you connecting to a dataset in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop? If yes, please check that the dataset you are connecting still exists in Power BI Service, maybe it has been renamed or removed.

 

Best Regards,

Herbert

I have resoloved this error, you can't open report directly if you are using dataset that is published on Power BI Service means your report and dataset is separate.

Open Blank Report in power BI Desktop.

Sign-in Power BI Desktop with credentials of power BI Service where dataset is published.

Then go to file > Open > open your report (from location where you saved report).

Now it will open your report successfully.
