Hi @Anonymous, 

 

Did you remember which kind of Power BI desktop is used for creating this pbix file, normal Power BI desktop or Power BI desktop optimized for report server

 

Assume the report is created in Power BI desktop optimized for report server, we need to open it in the same Power BI desktop optimized for report server version or newer version.

Hi Yu,

 

Thank you for your answer. I created the files with normal Power Bi desktop but to solve the issue I had to create a Microsoft Account and redownload Power Bi from Microsoft Store. After that, I was able to open my saved reports.

 

Best Regards,
