semantic model can't find DateTable

I have developed a reprot a while back, and for some of the KPIs I grab them directly from a semantic model from another reprt. 
It was working fine, but today there is an error 

elimey_0-1754035992510.png

Nothing has been changed in the semantic model. It is still the same. But I can't see the KPIs anymore. Moreoever, I can't delete the the connection and recreate it. Everytime, I see the same error

can someone help?

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

I think I got it now

 

LocalDateTables sound like date tables added via Auto Date/Time

 

Somebody must have disabled auto date time in the semantic model you are reading from, and now your composite model cannot refer to them anymore

 

This might also explain the difficulty to disconnect and reconnect

 

Can you check with the model owner if this is what changed?

Hi @elimey ,

KPI's which have been connected directly from semantic model can recheck if those Tables/columns still available in the semantic model

Could the dates table have been renamed? Also what do you mean by you can't delete the connection and recreate it?

Power BI Does not find a table, you say nothing changed and of course we believe you but 

to help you, we need the pbix connected to the data source, because something must have happened
