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,

    ibarrau interesting thought, but no. I clicked on this button, also tried the ones above and below to exclude that it is a visual glitch. But still get empty report. Also the same behaviour with at least one of my team mates.

      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.

        Hi v-sgandrathi 

        I will check your ideas and let you know if any of them work. For now the workaround can be used.
