KevinSnow  what does your composite model connect to and how is it connected?

It's possible that your scenario isn't yet supported by Power BI embedded.

For example there's this limitation documented:

  • Using Power BI Embedded with datasets that include a DirectQuery connection to a Power BI datasets or Azure Analysis Services model isn't currently supported.

Most limitations regarding embedding a report with composite models are due to be removed in the comming weeks.
