November 2018 update cant open previous template pbit file

[Anonymous]

I have a series of PBIT reports i have spent weeks on creating. I finished these templates back on 1st November 2018. However since then, my machine recieved the latest Power BI Desktop update (Version: 2.64.5285.741 64-bit (November 2018)) and when i try to open the template files i get the following error

It appears to be any template report i had setup the Incremental Refresh logic. a couple where i dont have this feature, still open without issue

 

Can anyone help? This is a major issue for my company and would require a lot of time investment to re-create these again.

Hi @Anonymous,

Please open the Power BI desktop firstly, go to Options ensure incremental refresh is enabled then open the pbit file:

Hi Qiuyun,

This is and was still enabled. This is how i made the templates using this feature before the upate released. 

As mentioned i had created and had all my templates working as at 1st November 2018. Including with the use of the Incremental refresh.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi @Anonymous,

If it's possible to share pbit files with us, you can upload it to your OneDrive and send the share link to me via private message. 

If there is a machine to install Power BI desktop October version, you can install it and open the pbit file to see if the same issue occurs.
