Hi @chiru5262,

I'm not so sure if this issue is more related to the report with hybrid mode data sources. Perhaps you can test to create a new report with a single type of data source to confirm which one causing the issue.

In addition, you can also contact and report to the tabular editor team of this tool to confirm if it is the compatibility issue of different power bi versions or other usage limitations.
Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng

@chiru5262 , using the external tool tab? This means you click on tabular in the external tool tab. Also, make the latest version of the tabular editor is used.

Hi @amitchandak I, yes from external tool tab I've used tabular editor latest version. 

Thats when I've got the above error message.

So my question is does the tabular editor doesn't detect power bi model?Please advise any alternate way if I can?
