I was in the process of editing a report built from a dataset published in the PBI service when my computer was unexpectedly shut down.
When i log back in my edit is gone.
Is it possible to recover.
Thanks.
Hi @KDoc ,
I can reproduce your problem. I only can see the edit view of the report without any content I added to it before when I reopen the html page. I agree to @AbhiSSRS 's idea that currently it's impossible to recover the unsaved content of report on Power BI Service. You'd better recreate a report on the Power BI Desktop rather than Power BI Service to prevent this misfortune from happening again. Or you'd better remember to save it in time.
For your requirement, you can propose your idea and vote for it. If there are enough votes, the Product Team will evaluate and take good consideration about it.
Hope that's what you were looking for.
Best Regards,
Yuna

I would love to do that but my organisation wont allow me to connect to published datasets from the desktop. Thanks anyway.

If its not showing up now as it was not saved ,it won't be possible . The report edits should be done locally as much as possible so that you can downoad the PBIX from service and Desktop also has temp copies saved automatically.
