Missing measures in Paginated reports

I have imported one of my published PBI reports to the PBI Report builder tool. In this tool I have created a Dataset1 (on the right) with a couple of measures. But when trying to build an actual report with those some of the measures doesn't show. Why is that? What the missing measures have in common is that they are all divisions between two other measures, for example Margin/Sales so I guess this is the problem.

The measures are not missing, they have just been renamed. Column names in Report Builder datasets do not support an number of characters like spaces, punctuation characters and things like % and the query designer will do a mapping of the columns names coming from the query to ones using characters it supports.

 

So your measure "BM% MTD" has been renamed to "BM__MTD" (notice that there are 2 _ characters, one replacing the % character and one replacing the space. If you want you can go into the Fields tab in the dataset and adjust these names to make it clearer. (eg you could rename BM__MTD to BM_pct_MTD)
