Dear All,
I've public my dashboard build from Power BI Desktop to PowerBI Service.
But when it come to the Refresh function in Semetic model to setup for Dashboard refresh, It appeared that I cannot use this functions ( as picture attached) Can someone help me to understand why this is happend ?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi. The setting is greyed out because it can't refresh the data. If you check on the picture under the data source settings. You have a warning icon showing that the source doesn't understand how to refresh it because there aren't credentials configured. You need to edit credentials for the sources in order to make the refresh available.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
