Unable to Load Model error message
Hi, zz99b0
In fact, my previous answer focused on the issue of permissions, and I also reminded you to check the permissions of the workspace and datasets. But it seems that you didn’t care about this, and we ended up going in another direction. But I'm glad it was resolved in the end.
Generally speaking, if it is a simple report sharing, the permissions of the dataset are set by yourself when sharing, but if the user is granted access to the workspace, the permissions of the dataset will be automatically defined according to the access of the workspace.
If you don’t want users to modify or create your reports, you can change user access to 'viewer'.Different datset permission:

Hi, zz99b0
Onedrive refresh is special, in short, there may be a delay:
It can take Power BI up to 60 minutes to refresh a dataset, even once the sync has completed on your local machine and after you've used Refresh now in the Power BI service.
So you can wait for a while to see if the refresh is successful.
Reference:Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Considering that your data is stored on onedrive, I think you also need to confirm whether all users can access it. If they can’t access the underlying data source, it will be useless even if they have permission on powerbi.
Are you calling the api through the Is_Prod parameter to see if it is published to the service? This looks great, if you can go well.

Thanks again for responding.
I granted my users access to OneDrive as suggested. It did not have an impact. I verified with one user that he could indeed access and open one of my files.
For the parameter, I created the parameter under "Transform Data". I use the Gateway option to ensure that it is set to "TRUE". I also tried reloading my report through the desktop application with it set to "TRUE" and republish the report. It did not impact the "Unable to Load Model" error.
Here is how my Advanced Editor looks for my inbound data:
I thought I had found the issues, as on several files I needed to change the transformation. When I reviewed all the code, I noticed that it had changed and it appeared that the code would always look at my files on my PC. I changed the code back and republished the report, but it did not impact the end user.
I have verified that the Gateway is using the correct parameter and I verified that the dataset lineage is correct. All the files are coming from my OneDirve account.
i mentioned before ,the ability to flip between my laptop for data and OneDrive is important, in that my home office has a fair user policy on Internet usage. So, I would prefer to develop and test using my local data, then publish using OneDrive data. I have been publishing with a parameter FALSE, then using the gateway to change the parameter to TRUE. I then perform a data refresh.
If there is another way to accomplish my goal without needed to change all my data feeds, I'm happy to try a different technique, if this is what is causing the issue.
In the gateway, I have mapping created for both my personal laptop and OneDrive.
