"The Model doesn't have a named expression named xxxx" Refresh issue for measures table

[Neil_Cooper]

Hi Everyone

I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue?  I have attempted to refresh a report this morning which no changes to the underlyning datasets but have recieved an error message stating "The Model doesn't have a named expression named xxxx" this is referencing my measures table.

I really hope there is a fairly simple way around this as there is a lot of measures here and it would take days to write them all again.

Many thanks in advance

Neil

Hi @Neil_Cooper 

Please try to disable the "enhanced dataset metadata" feature and check if the issue still persist. Click File > Options and settings > options > preview features, and then deselect the Store datasets using enhanced metadata format checkbox, as shown in the following image. You can review this thread for full details.
