hello @Anonymous ,

 

yes, the thing is that this report is connected to a published dataset, so inorder to do changes in the data, you need to download the published dataset and do the changes then publish it again the refresh your report.

@Anonymous , Make sure you are downloading with an option, a copy of your data. Prefer to download from the file having the same name as the dataset(In case of import mode)

If i download the semantic model, this "what do you want to dowlaod" queations, does not appear

@Anonymous ,

 

because the semantic model is in another published report.

but still no data view. I go to transform data and no queries appear either.

I go to data source setting on my report and i can see the semantic models it is linked to. the following options appear:

Any help on what this could mean?

Thank you

@Anonymous ,

 

can you try finding the published power bi report that your report is reading from, it's totally different report that has a dataset and your power bi report is connected to this dataset.

 

check this to know what I mean https://powerbi.microsoft.com/it-ch/blog/connecting-to-datasets-in-the-power-bi-service-from-desktop/#:~:text=Navigate%20to%20File%20%3E%20Options%20and,the%20option%20to%20take%20effect.
