    As I mentioned in my previous post, you could check the souce dataset at the bottom right.. In my case, my report is connected to dataset "Email Test" in "BI-Dev" workspace.

    There are certain limitations.

    Keep in mind that when you rename the column/measure name in the orginal dataset, it will appear as a new column/measure and all the visuals that used the old name will be broken.

     

    If this helps, mark it as solution.

    Kudos are nice too.

Is that report connected to Power BI Dataset as a source? If so, the Report and Model icons won't appear.

 

If you want to view/change the measure definition or modify the model, you would have to do it in the dataset.

 

The bottom right shows which dataset the report is pointing too.

 

Also, When you rename a column in the dataset, it won't reflect the related report. It will appear as a new column and you have to fix all the visuals.

 

If this helps, mark it as a solution

Kudos are nice too.
