unable to open power bi file

‎06-27-2020 04:41 AM

Dear team, 

 

One of my team members is unable to open the shared .pbix and getting the following error message:unable to open.PNG

Please be informed that the shared pbix file is from latest power bi desktop version " Version: 2.82.5858.961 64-bit (June 2020)"
He has updated desktop version but still unable to open the file. 

 

What to do here?

For clarification purpose, just ask your teammates to check the version of pbix file.   Might be he forgot to uninstall the old version.

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard

@Anonymous this is weird, can you open the file where it was created.
