Hi There,

 

In Power BI Desktop, go to File>Import>Excel Workbook Contents. Choose the file containing the model and you should be able to import the model and associated measures/calculated columns.

Please keep in mind that this will ruin all your existing tables and models in pbi. I do not understand why loading the model should fully rewrite everething?
