Hello,

Did you get this problem solved?

I have a similar issue with all my reports that are connected to power bi service data sets.
If I start from blank with PBI desktop everything is fine. BUT when I for example download pbix file from service and try to open it with PBI desktop I get he same error message "No session exists for database with ID: xxxxxxx".

The desktop doesn't open at all because of that error and therefore I'm not able to clear permissions from that file.

This happened to me when downloading from the service. If this is the case then you can create a copy of the report in the service and download it.

I am able to connect to the database, Bu the old repots are throwing this error.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try to clear permissions and connect the database again.
