Hi mhsksh,
This Problem occurred with one of my team before...So here is some steps might work with you:
1-Force Reset via Tabular Editor:
- Download Tabular Editor (free version) if you don't have it
Open your PBIX file in Tabular Editor
Navigate to your data model → right-click the model → select Properties
Look for DiscourageImplicitMeasures property
- Change it from true to false
- Save and close Tabular Editor, then reopen PBIX
If you not like this solution try this approach (Same thing but in another way):
Close Power BI Desktop
Make a backup of your PBIX file
Rename the file extension from .pbix to .zip
Extract the contents
Locate and open DataModelSchema file in a text editor
Search for discourageImplicitMeasures
Change the value from true to false
I hope i could help you ☺️❤️if this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
