Open a data model

[roger1722]

The option to open data model is greyed out.  I check the users can edit data models in the power bi service and it is enabled for the entire organization.  Any ideas of what else might be causing this?

Hi  @roger1722 ,

The following scenarios don't support opening the data model for a dataset in the service:

• Datasets that have incremental refresh.
• Datasets that have been deployed by a deployment pipeline.
• Datasets modified by an XMLA endpoint.
• Datasets that haven't yet been upgraded to enhanced metadata format. You can upgrade to enhanced metadata format by opening the corresponding pbix in Desktop and republishing.
• Datasets that have automatic aggregations configured.
• Datasets that have a live connection.
• Not all datasets in Pro workspaces are currently supported in UAE North.

To see which limitation is preventing you from opening your data model, hover over the Open data model button in the dataset details page. This displays a tooltip indicating which limitation is causing the Open data model button to be disabled.
