    HI Lars_c,

    It seems like a common scenario that happens when your use scanning API on datasets that have not been refreshed or republished. You take a look at the official document and it mentions these situations in 'Considerations and limitations':

    Metadata scanning - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

    Datasets that have not been refreshed or republished will be returned in API responses but without their detailed low-level information and expressions. For example, you will see dataset name and lineage in the response, but not the dataset's table and column names.
