Hello tan_thiamhuat, 

This is expected when connecting to Lakehouse tables via the Microsoft Fabric OneLake catalog in Power BI.

The catalog exposes tables, but it does not automatically create a semantic model (dataset), which is required to build visuals.

Fix:
Create a semantic model from the Lakehouse (New semantic model), or connect via the SQL endpoint, and ensure you have Build permission.


Docs:
What is Power BI 
What is a lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric? 
Semantic models in the Power BI service 


Summary:
No semantic model = no visuals. Create or connect to one to resolve the issue.
