Measures Table Disappearing

Hi Community

 

Relatively new to PowerBI so not sure if this issue is being caused by something I am doing or if it is a bug.

 

I have created a new table in my pbix file to store measures which I create on the fly to use in visuals later.  The file I am using I have been using for several weeks but now when I go to the relationships tab this measures table disappears.

 

I have read the message Power BI Desktop - intermittent bug - measures disappearing but the refresh solution does not work.  This message was from back in 2020 and I have just upgraded to the latest release 2.116 but this also did not solve the issue.

 

This is a snapshot of some of the tables in my data.  The last one 'Table' contains my measures.

After going to the relationship page and clicking on 'Table' and looking at the advanced options the table disappears.

If I close without saving and reopen the workbook the measures are still there.

 

What is happening in my file?  This happens in another totally unrelated file also.  How can I stop this from happening as I lost an hours work yesterday when suddenly all my measures disappeared.

I have same issue did you resolve this ?

@Denski11 I think my resolution to this was to make sure that I renamed the measures table from Table to somehting which made more sense.  I ended up calling the folder 01 CFC Measures.  This kept the folder at the top of the table view.

 

Hope this helps.

@campbell_carson , hope you have not hidden it in model vie, the little eye icon should be open. I have never seen a measure table disappearing in the last few years.

Thanks @amitchandak I checked and I cannot see the eye.  I have seen this in the past but not now.  I did just try to rename my table from 'Table' to CFC Measures and it seems to be staying at least for now.

 

I'll try this in my other unrelated workbook and see if it also remains.

 

Thanks for the prompt support.
