pbix file is corrupted and can't be opened by Power BI Desktop

[Anonymous]

Hello the community,

I had a sad suprise this monday morning. The pbix file I was working on 8 hours a day for the last 2 weeks refuse to open and returns this error :

The old version stored in the TempSaves folder is dated of the first day I created it so there is nothing to retrieve.

I also tried desinstalling the app and installing the last version.

It's unfrotunately still not working and I have no clue on what happend with this pbix file and how to solve the issue.

Of course I didn't make any copy of the file before the problem.

I'm praying right now with the hope that one of you know a miraculous solution to make it work again !

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Cado

@Anonymous , if you have published this file, download the version from power bi service.

Or install an older version of power bi and try

Thank you @amitchandak you're a genius !

I should have thought about exporting the pbix file from the Service but I was so frustrated about my loss that I was not able to think enough 😅
