Hi@arun_aa ，

PBIT file is used to save queries, data models, visualizations, and reports for the purpose of being reused. 

In order to open .pbit files properly，you must have supported software programs installed for Power BI Desktop Template on your system such as Microsoft Power BI Desktop.
Associate default Microsoft Microsoft Power BI Desktop program for *.pbit (Power BI Desktop Template) files.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

@arun_aa To the best of my knowledge you can only open that with Power BI Desktop. Perhaps try running a Windows-based virtual machine on your Mac or spin up a Windows 10 box in Azure.
