Semantic Model Not Found

[David_Evans]

Hello World!

Setting the scene:

I've set up a report, users have looked at it and i've created the 'usage metrics' report.

When I click on the View Semantic Model:

I get this:

I can't see a semantic model in the OneLake data hub.

The usage report has data in it and i can see the sources when I go to edit it:

Any ideas why i'm getting the error?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I was trying to access the semantic model of my report usage metrics, but it was not found and showed this message : "Sorry, we couldn't find that semantic model It may have been deleted or you may not have access to view it."

@David_Evans did you solve your problem?

Hi @DennisGao, 

I found the semaantic model in the System Storage pge of the workspace settings:

However, I couldn't do anything with it but delete it. Usage metrics are pretty poor in PowerBI and i've given up trying to do anything with them.

Deleting the sematic model from the system storage page worked for me.

I then clicked on the generate usage metrics and it was able to rerun.  I suspect that it was trying to connect to the old semantic model and then when i deleted it and reran the report the model had to be recreated.

Hi @David_Evans 

Given the information you've provided, here are a few areas we can explore to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view the semantic model. You need to have either an admin or member role in the workspace where the semantic model is located. For more details on managing access permissions to semantic models, you can refer to Manage semantic model access permissions - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

2. Semantic Model Sharing: Verify if the semantic model has been shared correctly within your organization. Semantic models can be shared directly or through workspace access. More information on how semantic models are shared can be found here: Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

3. Semantic Model Visibility: If the semantic model was recently created or updated, there might be a delay in its visibility in the OneLake data hub. Additionally, check if the semantic model discoverability feature is enabled for your account, as this affects the visibility of semantic models you have access to. Learn more about this feature here: Discover Fabric content in the OneLake data hub - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.
