Very interesting, would like to know what happened here?

 

Do you have pivot table in excel?

It's not that it doesn't let me work, but it is really annoying that things like this happen with no reason.

    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.
