Composite Model Publishing Issue

‎09-13-2023 12:37 PM

Hi all, 

 

I'm having an issue publishing my composite model PowerBI report. I have two data sources: a Direct Query and a SharePoint CSV file. In my PBI report, I have calculated columns that reference both data sources and get the error message when I try to publish. When I go through with publishing it anyways and look at it from PBI Online, I see that it's a gateway issue. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

If the file is in SharePoint online, you shouldn't need a gateway unless you're using the wrong type of connector (local file?).

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The error means you need a gateway to acess the data.

Try to install a gateway and add a data source to it.
