You can't schedule refresh for this semantic model

First, I've looked through the posts with similar errors and used them to do my preliminary troubleshooting. As far as I can tell, I am not using any unsupported ones. I don't have a "Query1" so it's also hard to pinpoint what it's complaining about.

 

Error:

You can't schedule refresh for this semantic model because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

  • Data source for Query1

All of the sources are of this type:

Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents("https://redactedmy.sharepoint.com/personal/redacted/Documents/Some%20Data/Some%20Data.xlsx"), null, true),

 

This report/semantic model was working up until 5/31. I have made some changes to the report and data source, but at this point, cannot remember if there's any one change that led up to this. I can only refresh the data using the Desktop app and subsequently Publishing the report again. The scheduled refresh is now failing every time.

  • I've found the issue.

     

    There was a syntax issue 'DateTime.UtcNow()' which was supposed to be 'DateTimeZone.UtcNow()' in one of the steps in one of my Queries.

     

    I wish there was a better error message for that case. It would have saved me a lot of grief.

     

    What a needle in a haystack.

      How do you work out the actual issue that prevents the auto refresh?
      My database has several tables, but I don't know where to start to identify what is preventing the "You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh" message.

      Is there a way to see exactly which table or formula is the issue?

    Clicking "Discover Data Sources" yields nothing useful. Comes back empty.

  • Hi carlom_iptech 

     

    Can you double check the link used does have access from the account in the data source settings?

      GilbertQ , I do not see the following section on the semantic model as I do on other working models.

       

      "Gateway and cloud connections" and "Data source credentials" are missing.

       

      Broken semantic model:

       

      Compared to a semantic model that is working for me. Also note that these two semantic models are pointing to the same Excel file on OneDrive for business.

        Hi carlom_iptech 

         

        It looks like the report you are showing does not have the semantic model but rather view the lineage to find the semantic model?

    I still haven't fixed this. I can't pinpoint what caused this to break.
