Cannot open older pbix since desktop update

I have a number of versions stored for a shared Power BI report that I cannot update or open since updating my Power BI desktop application.  The pbix were created using Power BI Online service files created in Alteryx and published to Power BI using the connector macro.  When trying to open/update these are the error messages I'm getting.

    Hi shayden,

     

    As the pbix file gets data from Power BI Service data source, you need to make sure the current account has permission to access connected dataset firstly. 

     

    You can open Power BI desktop in a new window, check which Power BI service account you signed in. To check if this account can connect to the connected dataset, you need to contact the pbix file creator who share this file with you. From the error message you provided, it indicates that your signed in account doesn't have permission to the dataset. Please contact the creator to get permission of your own account or switch to a account which has permission. 

     

    Best Regards,

    v-qiuyu-msft I did try opening under the service account used to push the data set.  I also tried opening older versions under my own account and no luck with any version I had.  We ended up having to recreate the two dashboards that were broadcast on our command center to move forward.

     

    thank you for the reply
