Issue When Creating Semantic Model and Report in Power BI Service – “Some Steps Didn’t Complete"
Hi syl-ade ,
I tried using the same dataset on my end and was able to make a report without any trouble. Could you let me know where you're trying to create it like in My Workspace or somewhere else?
When I uploaded the Excel file directly, everything worked fine, so maybe give that a shot. I’m also sharing a screenshot here for reference. If it’s still not working, just share a few more details and I’ll take another look.
Thank you.
I tried refreshing, but the semantic model seems to be empty. I did not get any specific warning why this happened.
The problem occurs when I connect to the data source and instead of creating a report with semantic model I decide to tranform the data first. I merge 2 tables succesfully and then I click "Create a report" which should lead to semantic model creation and report creation, but the model is empty.

This happens when:
- I try to Transform data (merge tables) and then create a semantic model (or semantic model and report at the same time)
- I try to create a semantic model and report at the same time without transforming data
I succesfully created a semantic model by skipping "Transform" step (not merging tables) and by choosing to create only the semantic model (without report).
The data source I'm using is this one: https://radacad.com/files/AdventureWorksDW2012.xlsx
Generally, the problem occurs when I merge tables.
