Auto-Update Measure Names in DirectQuery-connected PBIX Files

Description:
When renaming a measure in the Power BI Service semantic model, all connected .pbix files in DirectQuery mode should automatically reflect the name change instead of breaking visual references. Currently, renaming a measure breaks its bindings in reports, requiring users to manually re-drag the renamed measure into visuals.

Expected Behavior:

  • DirectQuery .pbix reports dynamically update when a measure is renamed in the semantic model.

  • No broken visuals or missing measure errors.

Benefits:

  • Saves time and effort for users maintaining reports.

  • Ensures seamless experience when updating semantic models.

  • Reduces the risk of broken reports due to measure renaming.
