Hi All,
I have a powerbi dataset which i am creating via another service. Unfortunately it doesn't show up as a table but rather as a measure which is the reason why its not allowing me to create a local model through which i can rename my columns. Anyone has any solution.
My other PBI dataset which i created a month ago works perfectly. It shows up as
Any idea what changes in settings might be required to make my first table look like the second one?
The same problem with my dataset ... I am using only two columns, datatype string,Int64 and can not create report
It seems like the issue you are facing is because the first dataset is being recognized as a measure instead of a table. This can happen if there is a conflict between the data types of the columns in the dataset.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
Verify the data types of the columns in your dataset and ensure that they are consistent with the data types expected by Power BI.
Check if there are any calculated columns or measures in your dataset. If there are, try removing them and see if the table is recognized correctly.
If the above steps do not work, you can try creating a new dataset with the same data source and schema and see if the table is recognized correctly.
If none of the above steps work, you can try contacting the support team of the service you are using to create the dataset and see if they can help you resolve the issue.
I am just using 2 columns to test this functionality and those are just string fields. I tried this with a single column having integer data type and it failed there itself too.
Has to be some sort of settings i believe which i am not able to figure out.
