[mkulikowski]

Hello,

I have downloaded pbix file from Power BI / Fabric where I have built semantic model based on 1 table in lakehouse. I cannot open the file getting this error below.

Full message is: 
Partition 'partition_name' of table 'table_name' may not operate in Direct Lake mode. This Analysis Services feature is not available in this product.

Thanks for help,

Michal

Hi @mkulikowski 

“Partition 'partition_name' of table 'table_name' may not operate in Direct Lake mode. This Analysis Services feature is not available in this product.” 

As stated in the error message, this analytic service feature is not available with this product.

Currently, there are some known issues and limitations with Direct Lake models, such as:

• Direct Lake models can only contain tables from a single Lakehouse or data warehouse.
• Calculated columns and calculated tables are not yet supported.

For more details, you can read related document link:

Does this mean you can't download the file and basically have to start over?
