Creating Symantic models in POWER BI SERVICE using gateway.

Hello , 

 

We have a gateway created by our DBA and it is in the cloud and the connector is also in the cloud. now the question

 

we have added this connection to our Power BI service (my account) and now I want to create a Symentic model in my PBI Service using this gateway connection to the SQL SERVER which is on PRem(database). Is it possible to create Symantic models in Power BI Service? or does it always have to be created in desktop and public to Service. 

 

 

 

Thank you

    I am new to Power BI / Services as well - so I am replying to follow this but would also like to input:

    From my understanding Symantic model are created with power bi desktop and publish the workspace that has the dataflow.

    You would open up the desktop , get data and select data flow as your data source.
    The data flow you select would be the one in power bi service, which you would use to build the model and publish that to the workspace.

    But that is as far as I have done, so if there's options to create it directly in service I am hoping to find that out from here as well.

    Hi Deepti222 

     

    You can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on Semantic models in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn. It provides a technical explanation of Power BI semantic models, including types, summary, considerations, and related content. This should help you understand the process and options available for creating semantic models within the Power BI Service.
