Connection few reports (SQL, Excel, Semantic model)

Hello The_Crow
hello The_Crow
Thanks for getting back with details
the problem lies with with personal gateway only.
The Personal Mode Gateway does not support combining data from multiple sources when one of those sources is another Power BI report (semantic model). This limitation arises because Personal Mode lacks the ability to manage complex mashups involving both cloud and on-premises data sources.
• When you try to connect a semantic model from another report along with SQL Server and Excel on Teams, the gateway cannot handle this combination due to its restricted functionalityMixing cloud-based data sources (like Power BI semantic models) with on-premises data sources requires advanced capabilities that are typically supported by the Standard On-Premises Data Gateway, not the Personal Mode Gateway

Hi The_Crow .
- Issue: Power BI does not support On-Premises Gateway (SQL) + DirectQuery to a Semantic Model. This disables the Gateway.
- Works: Connecting Semantic Model + Excel on Teams works because both support DirectQuery.
- Fixes:
- Use Import Mode instead of DirectQuery for the Semantic Model.
- Pre-aggregate SQL data into a dataset and connect it separately.
- Use a separate dataset for SQL and merge it later in Power BI Service.
