invalid or malformed semantic query definition in Power BI Service

Hi, 

We are experiencing issues with existing reports throwing 'invalid or malformed semantic query definition' when variables are used in measures.

If we update the variable name to include _ in as prefix the error goes away. We have hundreds of reports. 

 

Thank you

Anna

Hi @AnnaKasyna ,

I test it in my environment, it works well.

Please try to upgrade your Power BI Desktop.
