Enhancement Request: Please add the ability for Measure Killer to identify calendar columns used in alternative calendars (fiscal calendar). This is a powerful recent feature in Power BI that allows using DAX Time Intelligence functions with alternatively defined calendars. Implement time-based calculations in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn


The current Measure Killer does not report a column is being used even though it is used in the mapped category columns (configured in Calendar Options).

Hi, I got this error when trying to analyze model usage in tenant analysis. Not sure what it means.. Failed to send dependencies upstream. Error: Rules must be processed before verifying them

Hi,


I am trying to run Measure Killer (version 2.9.2) on my report, which is saved as a PBIX file, and I am receiving the following error:

“zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file”

“Failed to open …pbix as a ZIP archive.”

Could you please clarify why Measure Killer is attempting to open the PBIX file as a ZIP archive?

I would also appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue. The file opens normally in Power BI Desktop, and no sensitivity label appears to be applied.

Thanks

Aviv

Is the file maybe read-only or something strange is happening with it? I do not know why it would throw this error if you have no sensitivity label etc. applied

Somehow the tool cannot access the file

There is a restore button on top to bring back to life any DAX artifacts you removed with Measure Killer.


But we will take a look, thanks for your feedback

Enhancement Request: Allow ignoring not supported dataset types. I'm using "Shared model online" to analyze one dataset and all its dependencies. One dependecy seems to be a live semantic model connected to my dataset and I get the error "this type of dataset is not supported. This occurs if the dataset is a scorecard, lakehouse, report usage metrics model or a live semantic model connected to Azure Analysis Services." This is okay, but unfortunately, this error causes the loading process to abort completely, making it impossible to analyse my dataset and all other dependencies.

Is your semantic model in a Pro workspace? If yes we know what the issue is, so please contact us to have this fixed (unfortunately it is due to a Microsoft bug).
