Power BI Desktop includes extra tables when refreshing from a linked Power BI semantic model
Thank you that's helpful.
My other question is - say I were to add a local model and follow the steps above; In the event that a table (LL) from Model A and i'm using in Report B is updated, then will the table LL in Report B be updated as well?
Community SupportHi RF_CW,
Thank you for your follow-up.
If you have connected Report B to Model A using a local model with DirectQuery, updates to an existing table such as Table LL in Model A will automatically be reflected in Report B. This includes data changes (new or modified rows) and column updates -- additions, deletions, or renames, so long as these do not disrupt current visuals or measures.
Because Table LL is queried directly from the source semantic model, Power BI ensures that the latest data and schema from Model A are displayed in Report B each time the report is refreshed.
However, that only the tables selected during the initial local model connection are included. New tables added to the source model afterward will not appear automatically in Report B, allowing you to keep your report schema organized and controlled.

Please feel free to reach out Microsoft fabric community forum.Thanks for following up. I have not had an issue so far because I haven't had a change to the model yet. Will post again when I do.
