Why Is a Table Not Being Created in the Semantic Model?

I'm really shocked by this. 

A couple of days ago, I created a simple Excel spreadsheet as shown in the screenshot below.

Afterward, I formatted it in the table "style" as you can see below.

Then, I uploaded this into the Power BI Service as a Semantic model.

Next, I went into Excel and navigated to Data...Get Data...From Power Platform...From Power BI.

On the right-hand side of the window, a helpful pane appeared allowing me to "Insert Table".

Today, when I take these steps with a similar spreadsheet, Excel does not see a table.  In other words, the Semantic model that I created today did not "upload" the spreadsheet as a table.

Why in the world not?

      After choosing to create a new Semantic model and browsing out to the Excel file in Microsoft Teams, below is what I get.  A warning symbol appears telling me that I don't have access to some sort of new features.

        I don't usually go to Direct Query, as I usually have no use for it.  So, how do I get there to answer your question?
