Super UserHi satishorre20
A “400 Bad Request” error while publishing a semantic model to Power BI Service usually points to issues beyond just model size. It can be caused by network problems, invalid configurations, unsupported features, or even bad characters in column names, data types, or metadata. Make sure you’re on the latest Power BI Desktop version, check dataset permissions and workspace settings, and try simplifying the model if you’ve made recent changes. If the issue continues, monitor network activity with tools like Fiddler or review logs in Performance Analyzer to spot what’s causing the failure before publishing again.
