Hi, I am trying to connect to a Power BI Semantic Model to pull a few data fields into my Power App and then create a write-back capability that updates an Excel table after the fact with a users comments after they submit a form. However, I cannot figure out how to add the Power BI semantic model. I see options for SQL Servers, Excel tables, etc. and a Power BI Datasets and Power BI connector but I don't see any tables once connected? Am I missing something here?

@JZ-25021519-0,

I don't t think so we can get the data, In Power BI we are having the option to get data from the semantic model.

I don't think so there is connector available in the Power Apps, however you can call flow and retrieve the data accordingly.

You can create a custom connector that can execute DAX queries against the semantic model.

The power bi semantic model is rather complex so it returned a bad request when I tried to set up the Power Automate flow Run a query against a dataset. I feel like there has to be a better way given there are these power bi and power bi dataset connectors under Add Data in Power Apps.
