Hi @vidyasagar159,

When we import the data in the desktop. We can view the contents of a PBIX file to do the following below.

1. Open the pbix using this way.

2. Then we can see all the contents in the file.

Report Folder contains all the information with regards to the Report Layout. This XML file contains all the content within the PBIX file. The DataMashup file contains all of your Query Editor information. The DataModel file is the file that actually stores all of your data in a highly compressed format. The DiagramState file appears to store the information for the Table and Matrix locations. Metadata file contains all the names with regards to what you see when in the Report View.

In addition, after you publish PBIX file to Power BI Service, Power BI pushes the data into Azure backend (Azure DB/Blob Storage).
For more details, please check the online document.

Regards,
Frank
