Hello,
I’m encountering an issue with refreshing a Power BI report that was created using the SQL Analytics endpoint of a Lakehouse. When I uploaded the report to Power BI Fabric, the semantic model automatically generated a Default Connection (SSO). However, I am unable to refresh the model due to the following error:
“We cannot refresh this semantic model because it uses a default data connection without explicit connection credentials. Please replace the default data connection in the semantic model settings with an explicit cloud or gateway data connection.”
Since I cannot edit the Default Connection, the only solution I see is to create a new connection.
However, I would like to better understand whether this is a limitation of using Import Mode with the Default Connection, or if there are other changes I need to make to resolve this issue.
Additionally, I’m looking for official documentation regarding the relationship between refreshing the semantic model and the Default Connection. Should I enable SSO even though my report is in Import Mode, or is SSO only relevant for DirectQuery connections, as I understand?
Thank you in advance!
