Invalid location of measures when opening tabular model in excel

  • The tables that measures are assigned to/stored in is irrelevant to their function/calculation.  In PowerBI at least, you can move them wherever you want. I would assume the same is true for SSAS Tabular, since PowerBI and Excel create a SSAS Tabular model under the covers. In Excel, you could choose the table where the measure was created.

  • Thank you for your reply, I found another thread on same topic which explains the reason of the display (new icon, different place for measures).

    I tried to change the compatibility level from 1600 to 1500, but I'm still getting same display. It could be because I have sql server 2022?

    Hello,

    Also location of measures is under the dimension. (images attached)

    Any idea what could be wrong with the project setup ?

    Thank you.

    Have you looked at the Display Folder property of measures in Visual Studio? I didn't know this was a property until I checked just now. I use VS 2019 with SSAS 2017, and measures appear in a Measures folder with a sub folder for each fact table. Maybe this default behavior has changed and you have to explicitly define a Display Folder now.

  • Did you solve this problem somehow? I have the same problem.
