Enhanced metadata not able to make changes

Hi, 

 

I'm having issues after an update to a newer version of power bi. I tried downgrading but unfortunately I wasnt able to open backup file, must have saved the file before realising in the newest version. 

 

I'm getting an error while trying to upgrade to the enhanced metadata feature saying it can't find certain tables. This is because of a broken measure. I'm not able to delete or update the measure, so I'm stuck. I cant use my report anymore.

 

Is there a way to disable this metadata function like in the older versions? I know it's my own fault for writing over a save file but I can't do anything about that anymore. 

 

Thank you in advance!

@Avlies , Check this blog. As per this, there no way to rollbak. various issues has been discussed, see if that can help

Thanks again! I was able to copy the tables quickly with the tip in that blog, Unfortunately I had to copy paste all measures and redo all the relationships but that took me about an hour and now its working again. 

 

Lessons learned to keep backup files 🙂
