The error “Hierarchy has no root node” usually happens when the row hierarchy is not fully connected or contains gaps (missing parent level / broken hierarchy path).
Try this:
Ensure all hierarchy levels have valid relationships (no nulls between levels),Start with a single simple hierarchy ,,,Verify Calendar hierarchy is strictly continuous (Year → Quarter → Month),,,Remove any empty members in dimension. And Rebuild the cube after simplifying breakdowns
If it still fails, it’s a current Fabric IQ limitation with complex multi-dimension breakdowns in Direct Lake, and you may need to reduce hierarchy complexity or split the mode.
hope this help you !
best regards!
