Hi @Anonymous ,
For smaller dataset, it's perfectly fine to load data into powerbi and create a model. But if data is huge you can create an SSAS tabular model connect to PowerBI.
Which connector are you using? Excel, or SSAS or other?
Please share more detail information(error messages, screenshots) to help us clarify your scenario.
Best Regards,
Eyelyn Qin
