hi  Anonymous 

When you conect to a shared power bi dataset, it is a live connection model.

So the only modeling that you could only create report level measure in this report.

 

For the same name measure, it could not achieve in power bi, I think add a flag in the measure name is a good way.

Thanks - I tested the measure with the same name. So any measure created centrally with teh same name as a local measure, results in the local one breaking. So visuals using it no longer work. You must delete the local measure to use the central one.

 

Looks like naming conventions and or a  centrally added table or folder for local variables may be needed. Thanks
