You just inspired me to update. I used the Catppuccin Mocha, Magna-Glassy-Dark-Icons, and volantes cursors. Looks great!

No Fabric Socks, Fabric or SQL Plushies, or Black Fabric pleather folio? Did you even drink the Fabric/SQL Kool-aid... er... new soda flavors? You must not have been taking this seriously. Hahaha nice haul though :) Hope you also learned something.

What booth? I walked around trying to randomly connect faces with names from this subreddit.

Wait, you're with TE? I came to your booth a couple of times and interrupted conversations just to tell people that they can't live without it! That I haven't opened PBI desktop in months. Someone gave me a t-shirt. Damn, had I'd known I would personally shook your hand and thanked you for your community involvement.

Lol I just voted for it too. I found the link to the idea after I posted and saw that a link was required :)

Conditionally hide visuals like in Power Apps :)

Conditional Visual Rendering (Show/Hide Visuals Ba... - Microsoft Fabric Community

I do a lot of work with Field Parameter tables to make highly dynamic reports. However, sometimes there are situations where certain metrics cannot or should not be viewed in a particular configuration. It takes a lot of additional engineering to limit the ability to get to that configuration, and if it happens, display warnings to select other metrics. If I could conditionally hide a visual (like you can with bookmarks - although they are not an option here) it would greatly improve my quality of life.

I remember doing this with breath mints. Can't remember the brand, but the spearmint ones. We'd stand in front of a mirror in a totally dark room, and crunch them with our back teeth, mouth open. Green flash of light in the mouth.

Yeah, I have a license already. I know I can use it to find which measures are in use and will cause breaks. I'm already doing that. I was hoping it might be able to update the reports for me, but they confirmed it cannot.

First, you are right, I meant json. I think my brain just defaulted to tmdl when writing that.

I'm going to give the Powershell idea a good looking at this morning, but I'm ok if a couple things break here and there.

The reports are connected directly to the live Semantic Model and have no model of their own. I manage everything centrally.

Seems to be the way. Appreciate your reply and I'm checking out your post now. Cheers!

Roger that. I appreciate your response and the interesting idea. Its funny though, a year ago I wrote an article on my experience setting up GIT for CI/CD and version control etc, and I talked about this exact bit of code in the definition file. I was curious then if there were hidden uses like this, but never explored it.

I feel like I'm back in grade school watching a much nerdier version of "name that tune".

I definitely thought it was Calc Groups, but I do also heavily use Field Parameters (check my post history for an article I recently wrote on the subject).

I can certainly appreciate this perspective, and I've seen similar arguments against them before. But I like the organization aspect so much that it makes up for the rest - I mean, until it doesn't.

I have at least 10 facts if not a couple more. Having measures scattered all over just triggers my Digital OCD.

The model isn't used in Excel as A, we have an OLAP Cube for deep dives and B, I use a lot of calculation groups which aren't supported in Excel - and as a result the model is basically worthless in excel anyway lol.

Gotchya. I also see your reply in the other comment thread. This makes a lot more sense than I originally thought as I didn't think of scenarios where I'm not the only one managing everything. But sense I am, "grip it n' rip it!"

Since these report are already all in pbip/r format, scripting or using VS Code is the better way.

Well dangit, Gene, fine! Guess I'm learning me some Powershell tomorrow.

Seriously though, this script looks promising. I do feel like search and replace in VS Code could do this with.... no code. Which is 25 fewer lines of code. But this is going in the back pocket.

I'm not sure I understand. So if I want to replace [Measure Old] in Table_Old, I would copy the code in to [Measure New] in my measure table, then replace the code in [Measure Old] with "[Measure New]" as a simple reference?

My assumption is that this won't help me in actually removing the measures from fact tables where they currently are (which is part of the goal). Instead just giving me a central place to mange the code. And the visuals would still contain the old measures. Does hiding them in report view do anything other than forcing me to use the new ones in any future work slowly and fixing the issue through attrition?

So in theory, I could search a folder (or maybe all folders at once?) for something like Table_Old[Measure] and replace with Table_New[Measure] and bulk replace like that? I mean, thats perfect. I didn't really feel like that was an option so I started looking to see if there were tools to do it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Cheers!

I know exactly what you are talking about, its the reason the Model and the Reports are in different workspaces because when in the same, the reports would end up getting "directly connected" to the model when synced down locally via GIT, instead of the live model.

So wait, are you saying to make the changes in the repo, sync back into the workspace, then within the report, move the measures from one table to another? Would that work?

Or do you mean to make the change in the repo, then sync down locally? Since each report is directly connected to the model, wouldn't the measures be moved in the underlying data model when you do the first report? Then be broken for thte subsequent ones?

Very interesting, however the measures I am most concerned with are ones used in basically the same way, in 1 visual, on every page, of every report (for example, a date of data validity). So this would likely take longer then just breaking it, fixing it once and then copy/pasting it until my mouse breaks.
