Export Linguistic schema not working

[Navsharma]

Hello All,

I am trying to edit the live semantic model in the power bi desktop. I can change the table/column in the semantic model using PBI desktop and the changes go are reflected in the Power bi service aka in Microsoft Fabric.. I have been trying to export the linguistic schema so that I can add the synonyms to the fields. When i click on 'export' linguistic schema, nothing is happening. So my question is regarding exporting the linguistic schema if export option from UI not working. 

Thanks.

Hi, @Navsharma 
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.Currently, a more effective alternative is to use external tools like Tabular Editor to export the language schema. Here are the answers to related questions that might be helpful to you:

Thanks for your reply. 

#1 - Unfortunately we can't use this tool as its not approved tool to us. 😞

#2 - I have already enabled Q&A setting in the options of the PBI desktop.

any other way to get the yaml file ? Though import option works but when i click on export , it does nothing.

just FYI, I am using the Jan 2025 Version of Power BI desktop.

Hi,@Navsharma 
Thank you for your prompt response.

1.I have found a potentially effective solution, which is to disable and then re-enable the Q&A settings in the problematic model to rebuild the resources:

2.Next, please check if your data source is among those shown in the image below, as the data source might not support export:

3.Then, check if your sensitivity label prevents you from exporting:

4.Finally, you can also try reinstalling the app to see if it resolves the issue:

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Hi @Navsharma  - I hope you're connected to a compatible semantic model in Microsoft Fabric. Some users have reported that the export function doesn't respond when connected to certain models.

cross check , 'Modeling' tab in the ribbon, locate the Q&A group, and select 'Linguistic Schema' to attempt the export.

@rajendraongole1 : what do you mean by compatiable semantic model ?
