Manage the linked tables from a Semantic DM

Hello,

I have a semantic data model that contains 5 tables.

A few weeks ago, I had to create a new report based on this semantic DM and I linked (with Direct Query) 2 tables from this DM.
Now I would like to link to my report an new table from the same DM.

How can I add this new link from the same DM ?

Thanks
Cez

@jct999 , Ensure the report is created against the semantic model(Live Connect), not built alongside it.
If it was built in the same file, download the report from the Power BI Service as a Live Connection.
Then, in Power BI Desktop:

  1. Open the downloaded file.

  2. Go to Transform DataData source settingsChange Source.

  3. Select the new semantic model as the data source.
