Power Bi failed to open, Unsupported Table name " Measures" has been found in model schema

[Idrissshatila]

Hello Team,

I noticed many users faced this error "Unsupported Table name " Measures" has been found in model schema" after

the Power BI February update, it has some new validation that will prevent opening your pbix files if you've previously created a table named " Measures" with the space in front (using [ Measures]=  )

one current solution found by Stephanie Bruno is that: To solve this, you'll have to download an older version of desktop (I used November), open your pbix file and rename the table, and save. Then you'll be able to open it in the latest version again.
You can get older versions here: https://lnkd.in/enrn8cQZ

We noticed this issue and opened a support ticket yesterday. Unfortunately, the only "workaround" proposed by Microsoft so far has been to revert back to the November version. I'm very hesitant to apply the table rename "fix" on models which have downstream dependencies, since it will mean many broken reports and visuals.

I started getting the same issue. The Jan-2025 version works but it took a while to find and download old versions.

Hi all,

Yes, there is no clear solution about this issue yet. PG team suggests users to roll back to previous November version first, sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Hi All, I'm experiencing the same issue, but don't have the ability to roll back to an earlier version since updates are controlled by our Software Center app. I'm currently dead in the water. Is there an eta for a fix? Thanks! Jim Hancock T-Mobile

Faced the same issue and the only method that has worked is Roll out to the Older version preferably NOV 24 which I did today after uninstalling Feb25 version. Uncheck Auto Update and make sure you change the table "Measures" to any other name and you are good to go.

@chandukokku Where did you find the older version installer? Thank you, ErikT

FYI, this appears to now be fixed, as of version 2.140.1205.0

when will this be resolved for the latest version? most company's manage the installation of power bi desktop on peoples machines, and going back to an older version is painful. the latest version needs to have this fixed and currently its throwing an issue in feb version. Will it be fixed in march?

I'm on version 2.140.1577 and STILL getting this error. Been getting it for ages and now literally can't move forward because I can't open a report to peer review it. I get asked to apply or discard changes on opening the report - apply removes every single datasource from the report. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Discard throws up the rename error, with only "report" or "cancel" as the options. If I cancel, I then can't refresh the report to check it. If I report, then the same thing. Going back to previous versions is not an option as its managed by Corporate and the latest versions are pushed to our machines. Can't wait another quarter!!!

To add: This has been going on for more than a few months. The problem started for me before the November release

Edited 2025/04/02 Version Rollback is NOT an option. The Organisation I'm with will not consider this.

After much negotiation with our IT department, I've rolled back to November 2024, but the error persists. Its really getting old now. Also, the solution offered to open the pbix, rename the tables and save and then open in the new version is going to take me all year - I have 8 departments and heaven knows how many workspaces to go through!!
