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,
Dengliang Li
