The ppr file extension is associated with IBM Cognos PowerPlay, an OLAP application from IBM for analysing corporate data.
A ppr file contains a multidimensional cube that PowerPlay uses to organise data for viewing and analysis across dimensions such as time, products, or regions.
Cognos PowerPlay was available for Microsoft Windows. The format and software are obsolete, so current applications generally do not support ppr files.
Open the ppr file in the Windows version of IBM Cognos PowerPlay that created or supports it. Use PowerPlay's Open command and select the file.
If PowerPlay is not installed, there may be no current general-purpose viewer for this obsolete format. Preserve a copy of the original file before trying older software or a compatible Windows environment.
If the file opens in IBM Cognos PowerPlay, use PowerPlay's reporting or export features to save the required data or views in a supported format.
Such an export produces reports or extracted data rather than a new, fully equivalent multidimensional cube.
