Why is 1 imported table showing as a calculator icon table and other is not?

Import - calculator icon in fields pane.PNGImport - table icon in fields pane.PNG

 

I have two imported tables that are acting differently, and I do not know why. 

 

One has a 'calculator icon' next to the table in the Fields Pane, and the other has the 'table icon' next to the table name, but they are both imported tables from the same source, and I have 0 Power Query transformation steps accept for the source custom sql query. 

 

Why is 1 changing to a calculator icon table? How would I adjust the other to show as a calculator table icon? how would I change the current calculator table icon to a table icon?

That will happen if you hide all of the columns on the table leaving only measures.2022-05-31_8-07-29.png

@jdbuchanan71 apparently I need to have atleast 1 measure not in a sub folder in order for the table to show as a calculator table. 

Thanks for helping me better understand what was going on.
