Error: This file is in use

Hey everyone,

 

I saved a .pbix template in a shared drive but renamed it and moved it to another folder in the same shared drive.

 

All of the datasets and excel files are in the same place and I made sure all other instances of Power BI Desktop were not being used, especially for this particular template yet I am getting the following error:

 

"This file is in use.

Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."

 

Does anyone know if this is happening because I changed the name/location of where the template is stored?

 

It was working before and then all of a sudden this error started appearing across everyone in our network trying to open the file.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi jchungfluentco,

    In Power BI service, you get the .pbix file stored in OneDrive, right? After changing the name/location of where the file is stored, haved you re-edit your data source credential in data refresh schedule?

    Best Regards,
