Existing Desktops will not open after installing March update

Submitted by Anonymous on ‎03-16-2020 10:13 AM

After installing the March update, several of my desktops would no longer open.  I received this error "This model doesn't have a named expression named Measure" on these.  When building desktops, I use the "Enter Data" option and create a folder called "Measure" and this is where I store all of my measures for the desktop.  I uninstalled Power BI and reinstalled the February update.  This did not fix the issue.  All of these desktops were working perfectly until today. It would be a disaster if I cannot get into these desktops.  HELP!

Hi @Anonymous , 

 

Did you create a folder "Measure" like below?

Based on my test in Power BI desktop version 2.79.5768.721 64-bit (March 2020) follow your steps, it's able to close then reopen the report. Please run the same desktop version as ours then run it with administrator, click on File ->Open to open the report. 

 

Best Regards,

This is how I create measures (see below).  Also no clue how to run as an Administrator.

I ran into the same problem today with a file that worked fine two days ago. When opening a different file a message about 'metadata' was shown, which reminded me of the new preview feature that I may have switched on recently. I unchecked the feature 'Store datasets using enhanced metadata format', restarted the PowerBI Desktop and now my original pbix file could be opened.

After that I found out that one of my custom functions had 'Enable load' activated, which may (or may not) have been the true cause of this issue. Similar issue was reported here .
