The previous reply from John and his most recent reply give you sage advice. Saving a master project in SharePoint simply is not going to work for you, and there is no way to force it to work.

Hi Dale_HowardMVP, Thank you for your feedback.
We are now in progress of migrating to project online and we will look further into the Power BI integration.
