Table changed to Measure icon
Hi parry2k. Thanks for your reply.
In this particular case, for this table, the data source is an Excel document. Yes, the dimensions are shown with the standard table icon.
It is really wierd, because when I just started this report, the initial icon was the known table icon, as ussual. Suddenly it changed to a measure icon. I don't really know why.
Very interesting, would like to know what happened here?
Do you have pivot table in excel?
Hi parry2k. No, I do not have a pivot table. This same thing, just happened againt to an other table. I starting to think that maybe it has to do something with the count of mesasures that you have under that table. It's just a guessing.
It's not that it doesn't let me work, but it is really annoying that things like this happen with no reason.
I hope someone else can share if they seen this and how they fixed it?

I guess you import Excel Workbook Content into Power BI Desktop. Since your workbook contains a model already, it supposes to have a similar measure group folder which is displayed with a sigma symbol in Excel.
This folder will appear in a calculator icon in Power BI Desktop.

Hi v-sihou-msft. Thanks for your reply.
The original data source, the Excel document, has only a few columns with data. After imported that data, a table was created with those columns, all under a table icon. After working a lot with the data, adding calculated columns and measures, the original table icon changed by itlself to a measure icon.
