Share your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
On the wesite it states that:
"If you refresh your data sources, and there are errors with conflicting field or table names, Power BI resolves the errors for you"
Not sure what is the exact definition of "field", but it doesn't resolve names of measures being idential. In my scenario I connect to multiple tables from different Power BI datasets (Direct query). Then if more than one of the sources gets new measure with the same name and they both hit my "combined model" at the same time, I get an error that "name is already used, and no refresh is working".
Feel free to contact me for a demo in case of any questions.
I found the same when the same fully qualified DAX name for the measure in both models? i.e key measures[measure] is in both models. The refresh error implied it was getting duplicates when it was expecting a single item... I think the workaround I had was to subtlety change the table name.
But this does need to be resolved
correct, this is on our radar and part of our de-duplication efforts.
