Hi guys,
I need to copy a lot of measures from a report to another. How can i do it?
I've tried by ALM Toolkit but I don't know to do it.
Have you an idea?
Thank you 😊
Solved! Go to Solution.
You will need an external tool Tabular Editor for this. If you already don’t have it, then please install it first.
You can visit the Tabular Editor website to download the latest installer.
You will then have 2 running instances of Power BI Desktop on your PC as you need to open both the pbix files at the same time. Make sure you are clear which file is which. Just rename your files for better understanding.
Here I have 2 files one is ‘Employee_details with Measures’ and another is ‘Employee_details without Measures’.
Go to each file, one at a time, and launch Tabular Editor. Do it carefully, one at a time, ensuring you understand which model belongs to which PBIX file.
Copy the Measures
If you can’t see measures in the source file, make sure they are not hidden.
In Tabular Editor, from the View menu, select Measures. We can see that the measures are visible in the ‘Employee_details with Measures’ file shown in the image below(left side).
In our case, all the measures exist in the _Measure Table.
Below are the steps to copy measures from one file to another:
Click save on Tabular Editor in the destination workbook.
After saving the destination model, you will be able to see all the measures in the destination file.
