data model

I had my data model formatted exactly how I wanted it, and when I saved , Power Bi reformatted my data model.

Is there a way to turn off auto formatting of the data model ?

thanks

Hi @Maryann ,

 

By my tests with the latest version of Power BI Desktop, I cannot reproduce your sceanrio.

 

Please check if you have installed the latest version of Power BI Desktop 2.66.5376.2521.

 

In addition, do you have this issue for all your pbix files or the specific one?

 

If you have this issue for the specific pbix file, if it is convenient, could you share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the issue, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

 

Best  Regards,
