As of now, the Export to File REST API does not support Direct Query Sources (especially PowerBI Semantic Models). It always shows "Error fetching data for this visual See details" in the final export, even though the report works fine in both PowerBI Desktop and Online.
Took me a full day to figure this out, super annoying as we have already setup all the code for the API exports. Worked well with the reports we tested (that did not use PowerBI Semantic Models as data source), but not with others. Please fix asap!

RE: Urgent! Support Direct Query Data Sources in Export To File API
Figured that this only applies to composite models where at least one of the sources uses SSO. Would appreciate a fix anyways as data access is almost always managed via SSO at our organization.
