this semantic model contains calculated tables or calculated columns and refresh fails

I am receiving this error. I have a table and it has a calculated column refers to dataset which is very common but I get below error:

this semantic model contains calculated tables or calculated columns that refer to remote tables, which will result in refresh failures after publication if data is not configured to use an explicit connection with granular access control to access this data source.

Hi @srmathur ,

 

Based on the error message, it seems you're using composite models in Power BI Desktop. Please refer to this link to check the potential impact on report performance.

 

Best Regards,
