Semantic Model Refresh Fabric activity failed.

I am getting the following error "Fabric activity failed. 'Value cannot be null.Parameter name: source '."

 

We are on a T64 trial capacity if that makes a difference and I am trying to connect to our sql database via gateway. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here it is: I had original selected a gateway (first highlighted in yellow). When we left it blank we were able to select the second highlighted in yellow and that set the connection correctly for the rest of the setup in the refresh:

Hi TaylorAmy, 

 

Thanks for you help with this! We don't have any parameters setup in the model.

 

Attached is a screenshot of the error details:

Hi @cebyweiman

 

Are you able to share more details? 

Can we have a screenshot of the semantic model settings, and of the error? 

 

At first glance, this appears that you have a source parameter with no value set, are there any parameters on your semantic model?
