Problems with refreshing of semantic model

Ostrzak — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 16:54:33 GMT

Hi,

I have problems with refreshing a semantic model that is based on an existing lakehouse. As a part of a bigger pipeline, after overwriting delta tables in a lakehouse, a semantic model refresh takes place.

Now, although the refresh shows up as succesful, reports feeding on this semantic model do not refresh.

I tried turning off and on the Direct Lake connection for that semantic model. Additionally, I tried selecting tables for the model. It didn't help. I tried refreshing the sql endpoint of the lakehouse.

None of these actions helped.

Now I'm working on a default semantic model, but its customization is limited. I would rather have a separate semantic model that properly refreshes.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Ostrzak ,
You can try the following steps to solve the problem:
1. Try refreshing the semantic model manually to see if this solves the problem.
2. You are using the default semantic model, make sure the ‘Sync the default Power BI semantic model’ setting is turned on.

Hey,

As I mentioned, I was working in a "separate" semantic model, so not the default semantic model. I didn't have problems with default model, but I used it only as a temporary solution.

On the next day semantic model refreshed properly. I assume it was some backend issue. It works now.
