    Hi dgwilson,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

     

    Thank you MohamedFowzan1, Natarajan_M, Gautam_Kumar01 and danextian for the prompt response.

     

    Here the Prep data for AI does not save to the report, it saves to the underlying semantic model, so it checks your permission on the model itself. Please follow below:

    • You need write or build permission on the semantic model the report is built on, not just access to the report.
    • Q&A must be enabled on that semantic model.
    • In power bi desktop, Prep data for AI only works when the report uses an Import, DirectQuery or Composite(local) connection. If it is a live connection to a shared or published model, it will not work in desktop, instead author it in the service directly on the semantic model.

    For reference, follow the below documentation:

    Thanks and regards,
