File contains corrupted data.. An error occurred while reading a compressed file.

[emilybeale]

Getting the following when trying to open a PBIX file that has previously worked with no issues. Myself and multiple others have tried to open all getting the same message back. None of the data is in a compressed file and other PBIX's are using the same source data and working fine.

Feedback Type: Frown (Error)

Error Message: File contains corrupted data.. An error occurred while reading a compressed file.

I'm having the same issue😭😭

Had a brainwave on this one which has fixed our issue!

If you have published to the online verison, access the dataset through the online portal in your workspace and resave the dataset from there over the corrupted version.

Steps:

1.Open file destination workspace online

2.Click on dataset - as shown below (I've blanked our our information)

3.When the below page opens click "File" then "Download this file" as shown below and save over the corrupted version.

Worked perfectly for us and can acess on desktop app now!

Hope this helps you too!

Glad that your issue has been solved, now this thread will be closed.

I have had this same "File contains corrupted data" issue happen twice in the past two weeks.  I have been working with the same type of .pbix model for about 2 years now, so something systemically has changed.

@v-xiaoyan-msft , The proposed solution here from emilybeale works in some cases, but is not a long term solution and it doesn't work if you don't publish.  This "File contains corrupted data" will pop up again (based on seeing three different people here all post the same issue). 

Looking for some guidance on what I can do to restore the corrupted file that I have not published. Also looking for help on how to avoid this issue in the future.

@v-xiaoyan-msft  - given this thread is closed, do you recommend I reopen with a new thread?

I am auto-updating .pbix, so here is the current version I am on:
