Unable to create measures when table names are changed

When i change table names, i can no longer use measures. I get the following error. I can only use the default name that Power BI creates for the table

Hi @Callie24 ,

 

When you change a table name, Power BI can’t find the original table, hence the error message.

After renaming a table, you might need to update calculations in the Data Model to use the new name.  Calculations that need updating will be flagged accordingly. Edit the calculation to use the new names would solve this.

 

Best regards.

Hi,

 

I hadn't created any measures/ calculations when I updated the table name. I only imported data from sharepoint online, then created a new table and changed the name. I then selected 'New Measure', which led to the error.
