Tabular editor does not seem to show errors anymore, not updating calculated tables

Goodday,

 

I have been using Tabular editor for a while now. But today when i started working on a dataset it doesnt seem to show errors in measures anymore. Neither is it updating calculated tables and it isnt showing errors in them either. Any idea what is happening?

I just opened an earlier version of this dataset, and there it works fine. But why doesnt the new version then work...

Hi @Rollow ,

Tabular Editor doesn’t always clearly indicate which table is corrupt,especially if the model fails to parse properly. If a calculated table is incomplete or contains invalid DAX, it can silently break validation across the model. Unfortunately, there's no automatic highlight for the corrupt table, so the best approach is to check each calculated table manually or remove recent changes one by one to identify the issue.

Thank you.

Hi @Rollow ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Your screenshot shows a table named hghfhg, which looks like it was either:

1.Accidentally created (perhaps as a test), or

2.Incomplete or corrupted (e.g., missing expression or misconfigured metadata).

When a calculated table is invalid or corrupt, Tabular Editor can:

1.Silently fail to parse the model properly

2.Stop validating DAX across the entire model

3.Fail to update other calculated tables, even if they are valid

Thank you.

 

The hghfhg was indeed a test, and a table was indeed corrupt. Is there a way that it shows what table is corrupt?

Ok i seem to have fixed it. One table was corrupt or something? After removing it everything started working as normal. Leaving open for now to see if anyone knows why.
