Red bar on Direct Query Model View

[sahabatsuria]

Hello. I am combining dataset taken from another semantic model with local data, creating a Mixed storage mode (import + direct query). When looking at the Model view, usually the bar on top of the direct query source is blue. But mine for some reason is showing red as shown in photo.

Does anyone know what does the red bar means?

Hi @sahabatsuria -The red bar in Power BI's Model view, which typically indicates something unusual, signifies that the direct query source in your mixed storage mode is not functioning correctly.The direct query connection to the external semantic model or database might be broken. This could be due to network issues, incorrect credentials, or access rights. Check if the source is online and that your credentials are still valid.Go to the Data Source Settings and verify the connection to the external source.Go to the Error Pane (usually under the "Model" or "Data" tab) to see if there are any specific errors or warnings related to your DirectQuery source.If there have been changes in the underlying data source, such as modifications to tables, columns, or data types, this could cause the red bar.

if we can address the above issues, hopefully the Red bars should turn into blue color. please check the above points and fix items.
