Dax code not available after reboot PBI
Hi, I created some columns using DAX and I reboosted my laptop due to PBI errors. After reopen PBI desktop, I cannot suddenly edit DAX code which is not activated. there used to be code I wrote....
Can you try to open the semantic model with Tabular Editor V2?
I met a similar issue a few months ago, I opened it with tabular editor made a small change (like replace the name of a measure), save it and then in Power BI, I was able to see my dax measure
If it is not working, can you see your code in tabular editor ?
Hi Anonymous
Possible reasons for being unable to edit calculated columns in DAX:
- The PBIX file was not saved before the reboot, causing the loss of recent changes.
- The data model is corrupted, preventing Power BI from recognizing the calculated columns.
- A permissions issue or an unexpected bug is preventing edits.
Suggested checks:
- Verify if the calculated columns still appear in the Fields pane.
- Look for a backup of your PBIX file. Power BI sometimes creates auto-recovery files in:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\Temp Saves
You can also try to get to recovery folder from options:If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly
