How to open RDLX file?

The main problem with Power View Project Format is that the RDLX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RDLX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDLX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Power View

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Power View program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Power View into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RDLX files.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Power View with RDLX files

If, despite the installed application, the RDLX file does not start in the Microsoft Power View application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RDLX file with the Microsoft Power View application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Power View to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Power View program, it is possible that Power View Project Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDLX file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The RDLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RDLX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RDLX file. Sometimes virus-infected RDLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RDLX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RDLX file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RDLX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RDLX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RDLX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
