Cannot load model (blank error message)
Hi,
Trying to connecto to a PowerBI data source (gateway, SSAS), I'm getting "Cannot load model" followed by a blank error message:
After that, I can't do anything, the message reappears over and over and I have to kill the process to close the app.
I tried running as an administrator, uninstalling and doing a fresh install of the latest version, logging out and back in... I'm lost.
The cache is empty and no credentials are stored locally:
Also I doubled checked the permissions, and my account is the owner of the datasource in the PowerBI Service.
If I open a report, ot try to create one from scratch, I get this, with the same result (had to kill the app):
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure this is an issue with Desktop itself.
I was hoping for some troubleshooting.
Thanks.
Hi SBPFA ,
As the online document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-report-lifecycle-datasets#limitations-and-considerations
If you delete the shared dataset in the Power BI service, then other reports based on that dataset will no longer work properly or display their visuals.
So Please have a check whether the dataset has been deleted or not.
Hi, the dataset was not deleted, in fact, Desktop shows it is connected live:
Hi SBPFA ,
Seemed that you have no access to the dataset any more. Could you please check with the owner of the dataset?
I have the same error, someone has solution if from the power bi desktop, I select as source power dataset whose source is an SSAS, it stays pasted with the same message, can not load the model and the window gets stuck
