Combining two semantic models

[YadavNeh]

I have a third party software from which I am importing data as semantic models into PowerBI Desktop. Using Direct Query I was able to create a report. However, when I upload the report to PowerBI Web it gives an error. Data from only one semantic model is visible while the others give an error - 'Couldn't load data for this visual'. I followed all steps in such as download latest version of PowerBI, clear cache, change brower from Edge to Chrome but no success. Any ideas on how to solve this?

@YadavNeh  Can you check the dataset settings in Power BI Service to ensure the storage mode is set to Direct Query mode or verify that your dataset doesn't require a gateway if it's a cloud data source? 

Another suggestion is to go to File > Options and Settings > Data Source Settings in Power BI Desktop. Click on Global Permissions and review the data sources. Update or delete any cached data sources that are affected and reconnect your data sources. 

Read this  Microsoft Documentation on DirectQuery connections to a published semantic model.
