Hi eilmrein ,

 

Based on the error message, it seems that all partitions have a source type "m" in the JSON file, which is not a recognizable partition source type in Power BI. The most common types of partition sources are SQL, Oracle, Text/CSV, and Web.
You can try:
1. Modify the partition source type in the JSON file to a recognized partition source type.
2. Check the model.bim file for corruption.
3. Try deleting and recreating the partition in Power BI.
4.Try creating a new Power BI report and importing the model into it.
Also, make sure that you have followed the correct steps to modify and compile the pbit file using pbi-tools. Double-check that the modified JSON file is saved correctly and that the pbit file is compiled correctly.
