ERROR OPENING OFF LINE ALL pbix FILES WITH DESKTOP VERSION

Hello,

since about one month ago, it is impossible to open any pbix file with the desktop version if I am off line. It doesn't matter if the file is created by myself or imported from another.

I installed the last version of PBI desktop and it is still the same.

The error that appears is something like: 

"Reference to an object not stsblished as an instance of an object"

Does somebody know how can I solve this problem?

It is critical for me because I have to present the results to the customers and sometimes it is not possible if there is no internet conexion.

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Josep.
