Super UserAuto-create report in PBI Service fails
Dear Community,
I want to share an experience I made recently as Iam not sure if it a defect and already known or not.
In PBI Service I want to auto-create a report based on a semantic model. By clicking the button shown in the screenshot, only a blank report page is generated.
BUT, if I go the way directly from the semantic model view as seen below, it actually works and I get my auto-generated report.
Would appreciate if somebody experience the same or knows if this is a known defect.
Best regards!

Hi. I have just tried that and it's working for me. I have clicked at the three dots and then auto-create report. It worked. Make sure you haven't clicked at "Create report" that is really close to that button. If you are in a notebook/laptop the UI can be really cramped.
I hope that helps,

Hi Mauro89,
Thank you for confirming and testing all available options, which helps eliminate the possibility of a visual glitch or accidental misclick. Since both you and a teammate consistently see a blank report after clicking the correct "Auto-create report" button, it appears the issue is not just local.
This could be related to your browser, workspace setup, or the semantic model itself. You might want to try clearing your browser cache, using an incognito window, switching to a different browser or device, and checking your permissions for the semantic model.
Also, make sure the model includes the necessary metadata, as reports may not generate if the model is too minimal. The workspace type (Premium or non-Premium) and regional rollout differences could also be factors. Since accessing the report directly from the semantic model view works, that can serve as a temporary workaround.
Thank you.
