Hi, I just updated the new PBI Desktop February version on my personal PC & on the server where we have the on-premises gateway, and in both cases, PBI Desktop refuses to open some of our pbix mod...
Hi vrs,
I understood the problem - in fact it is explained in the PBI Status page:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/
We are experiencing a temporary issue where users are unable to open pbix files in February version of Power BI Desktop. Users are unable to open pbix files with the special characters (", ', <, >, and &) in the file name. As a workaround, rename the file and make sure it’s in a directory without special characters. Engineers are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Next Update @02/07/2018 17:00 UTC
You need just to change the name of your files - not great if you published them already, but a shortcut to avoid being blocked.
