Helper IIssue when using direct live connection to existing sematic model
Hi artur4
Thanks SaiTejaTalasila Cookistador for your inputs.
Power BI Desktop shows the data fine because it uses your local credentials. But once you publish to the Service, it relies on the credentials of the original semantic model. If you’re getting an error and the credentials option is greyed out, it usually means you’re not the owner of that dataset or don’t have enough access to manage its settings.
Try opening the source semantic model directly in the Power BI Service. If you see a Take over option, click it. After that, go to Dataset settings > Data source credentials and update the credentials there.
Thank you.
Super UserHi artur4
Can you open the report using the semantic model? Do you see data or some errors message?
I just want to check if the issue is comming from the credentials or the live connection
Helper IHello,
I can see the report with the semantic model. However, when I open it I get always the same message.
It works only on Power Bi Desktop.

ok, as you are not able to see the data in the source report, the issue is probably comming from the credentials
What kind of datasource is it ?
can you take over the report before to try to edit the credentials in the source reports ?
