    Hi JuanSombrero ,

     

    For your description, the reports created based on the dataset are independent. They simply use the same dataset. The only way to see the created measures is to open each corresponding report and see the created measures.

    If you want to edit a new measure, you can connect to the powerbi dataset in the desktop, create it, and publish it again.


    Best Regards,
    Henry
