Does anyone know why , please ?

Hi @Christophe93,

As the document said, the base metadata scanning feature requires the report data to be refreshed or republished or they will miss their detailed low-level information and expressions.

In addition, you can also try to turn on the enhanced scanner API features if helps:

We are using the new Scanner API to collect PBI metadata.  I can see relationships between workspace, report, and dataset.  I can also see fields in a dataset.  Is there a way to see fields directly at the report level?  Thinking of a scenario where a report contains many datasets and a user would want to see which fields belong to the report without needing to navigate through every dataset to see this.
