Hi Kelly

 

yes i tried but it won't allow me to modify the setting (see below)

what i'm looking for is a way to override the restriction directly in tabular editor or in the pbix model

    Hi  Jarrgh ,

     

    Can you transfer the measures to calculated columns and try again?

    I checked below reference again and found that it is only supported in Tabular model,if in power bi,it will be disabled:

    When you enable calculation groups, Tabular Editor enables the Model option Discourage Implicit Measure.

    If you remove all the calculation groups, you can restore that property to False to enable implicit measures again.

    However, it is a best practice to only expose explicit measures in a Tabular model.

    If you use Tabular Editor, you can find macros to quickly create measures from numeric columns:
