Getting following error message  - Template apps must have one dataset. Please make sure one dataset is present and try again.

I have published two reports to the app workspace.

Hi @sayali_deshmukh ,

As mentioned in the documentation, there are Known limitations of the template app, check if you have encountered some limitations:

Contents: Datasets: Exactly one dataset should be present. Only datasets built-in Power BI Desktop (.pbix files) are allowed.
Not supported: Datasets from other template apps, cross-workspace datasets, paginated reports (.rdl files), Excel workbooks

Do you see any dataset listed in the Datasets tab of your workspace after you published it?

 

If so what is your dataset here, is it pulled in via a web API?

@cpearson 

The datasets listed are those of the PowerBI reports published to the Workspace.
