New Live Edit semantic models in Direct Lake mode preview feature not working

Hello,

 

I have a model in Direct Lake mode and I want to edit it in Power BI Desktop with the new preview capability but I get the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

Any ideas what to do?

Thank you!

    Hi Sarien ,

    Could you tell me where the /Live Edit semantic models in Direct Lake mode preview feature/ is enabled as you mentioned?

    I created a Direct Lake semantic model in Lake House and then connected to that semantic model via the Power BI semantic model connector in Desktop.


    Then I can make edits to the table, such as adding measures.

     

    Best Regards,
