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?
