this shouldnt be happening, i should only end up with a report, not a model

Hi @Robert14358 ,

 

It doesn't matter the point is are you getting the updated data from your source or not.What ever @lbendlin mentioned is correct the configuration details will be stored in the semantic model.

 

Thanks,

a report cannot exist without the underlying semantic model.
