Hi,

I can use the action refresh a dataset in connector power bi before, there is no error. But today I start to get the error message: “Invalid dataset. This API can only be called on a Model-based dataset”. I selected the semantec model for refresh, why will it get this error message?

Hi @RM-24030759-0

Can you please go to the Power BI UI and verify what the data refresh is set too?

Are you using DQ or Live COnnection? Maybe someone changed it to that, but if so it doesnt work as it doesn't need to be refreshed as its always.. essentially live.

It is not possible to change from Import Mode to Direct Query mode (it's a one way street) unless you mess with the binary. Maybe someone replaced the entire report while keeping the name.
