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:
