URGENT: Fabric Measure Table DELETED by mistake - restore?

Mjolnir — Thu, 30 May 2024 08:17:51 GMT

Hi,

In Fabric, I created a table which I had to contain all my measures, I right clicked the table "measures" and added a new measure named "X", I assumed I was in the measure's settings, but somehow I was in the table settings, so it got renamed. Then, I regretted measure "X" and wanted to delete it, so I searched in the search field= "X", and deleted it, not noting it was the measure table.

Is there a a way to restore or did I F up? ....

Hi Mjolnir ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community. Currently there isn't a built-in way to directly restore a table in Fabric.
Probably you cant refer this doc - Restore in-place of a warehouse from a restore point - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

If you didn't find any thing helpful here. The best course of action is to open a support ticket and have our support team take a closer look at it: Link

After creating a Support ticket please provide the ticket number as it would help us to track for more information.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately there was no way saving the deleted content.

My organization is currently working on making the version history function available, not sure if it would have saved my work but I guess so.

As a new user to Fabric, I am suprised by the risk of how easily unintended deletes can be executed by mistake.

On critical items such as measure tables and in the data model view, it should not be possible; or like in this case, at least be able to add some kind of protection to the selected measure table under the table properties.

Hope to see changes on this matter in the future.
