How to remove Tabular editor from Model ( enable implicit measures, removing calculation groups)

How to remove Tabular editor from Model ( enable implicit measures, removing calculation groups)

This was remarkable easy to do, but incrediable hard to find out how to if you dont know.

 

I made some Calculations groups in TabularEditor - without knowing that this would Disable implicit measuers ( using an autosum directly in a matrix or table)

 

implicit measueres is a measure you did not make

Explicit measuere is a measuere you typede like:

CALCULATE(SUM('Posted_Sales'[Invoiced_Amount_LCY]))

 

So to get rid of the this so you can use implicit measuers again you nedde to  : 

  1. Delete all calculation groups from the model (you can delete them in Power BI Desktop)
  2. Load the model into Tabular editeor, Click Model and then under  Options find "discourage Implicit Measuers" and toggle it to false.

  3. toggel Discurage Implicit Measuers

I have the same issue but I am using Fabrci and have no idea how to load into Tabular Editor.  I am unclear why this cannot be undone in Fabric when it was originally done in Fabric?  There appears to be no Properties on the semantic model in Fabric.
