When reopening saved PBIX desktop file, every visual and page disappears from the report page.

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a very frustrating problem.

I'm developing a big Power BI report, using imported models for CRM and Azure databases, as well as excel support files.
Sometimes, when I save the report, close and reopen it again, every visual and page of the Report View disappears.
The date model, the table connections, created tables, columns and measures are saved.

I tried publishing the report. Same thing happens. The model is there, but the report view is blank, within no pages.

The file size is almost 14Mb (if this helps).

What could be causing this problem? What is erasing the visuals and pages on the report view?

I currently have the file opened. The published version and the saved file is always blank. I've resaved several times. If I close the program, I'll lose all my progress.

Hi @Anonymous 

Based on my test in the latest version of Power BI Desktop,  I connect to a data source, and do some operations ,  create report visuals ,,,etc, then save this pbix file, the reopened report is displayed well.

You may try to upgrade the Power BI Desktop to the latest version,  then go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Diagnostics and click "enable tracing", and try to create a new .pbix file to test if this issue will occur again, if it occurs again, try to check the detailed logs in the traces folder.
