Bug with Power BI Desktop January 2024 - Save SSAS-Live Connection Report as .pbit looses Measures

[_Urs_]

Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Power BI Report Server - January 2024), Version 2.124.1960.0, looses all Report Level Measures when saving the Report as .pbit File. This behaviour exists only for Reports with a Live Connection to SQL Server Analysis Services and the Measures are added as Report Level Measure inside the Power BI Report.

Short Update:

The Bug is currently under investigation at Microsoft.

1. The Report Level Measures are not shown, when Power BI Desktop is not logged on with your Power BI service User Account ("Sign in" Button on top right of PBI Desktop).
2. The Report Level Measures "magically" reapear when you create a new one manually.

I'll update this thread as soon as I have News from Microsoft.

Thank you very much @d_gosbell . You are right, I meant Report Level Measures. I have adjusted it accordingly in the text.

That possibly sounds like a bug - you should probably raise a support ticket with Microsoft. But the description sounds confusing. You cannot save measures inside the model when connected to SSAS in live connection mode, you can only save report level measures.
