When I try to create a direct lake semantic model, I can't see the tables that already exist in the lake, why, what do I do?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @WithwindOK ,
This issue has been confirmed as a known issue internally.
Are you creating the Lakehouse schemas (Public Preview) ?
Through my testing, if you have lakehouse schemas then the table will not be visible. Please create a new lakehouse (Do not check Lakehouse schemas) and then create the direct lake semantic model.
