sourceName and sourceLineageTag should be mutually exclusive.
I have a report that is connected via DirectQuery to the main model. Automatically adding new tables is turned off, so I am manually adding a table from the model. On saving my changes, I am met with...

After doing more tests, I have found a solution:
There were some measures defined against a different table that was not loaded. So:- Use Enter Data to create a dummy table with the same name.
- Delete the measures.
- At this point, the dummy table may rename itself to add a (2) and move position in the table list
- Delete the dummy table.
To be clear:
- These were measures defined in the report itself, not the main model. They were leftovers from previous work.
- The measures were broken, but fixing them in DAX View was not enough to remove the error.
- Loading the table the measures were defined against also fixed the problem. Since I didn't want the table loaded, I used the other method.
- Simply creating the dummy table was not enough. The measures had to be removed for this method to work.
- I used DAX view to "Define all measures in this model", this helped find the measured
- External measures are not at fault here. I pasted the definitions into a text editor and used the regex ^.+EXTERNALMEASURE.+$ to find and remove these, leaving behind the locally defined ones. This made it clear where all the measures were coming from.
- When cleaning a report by removing unused tables, be sure to remove all local measures first!
