Based on the error message, it seems the Power BI report had source from local system in desktop of the original user.

So you would have to download the PBIX file

In Power BI Desktop:
1. Go to File - Options - Data Source settings
2. Select your csv-file
3. Click the Change Source ... button and change the file path
