Reference to an object that does not exist
"Reference to an object that does not exist" is one of the reliability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n expression(s) reference a measure, table or column that is not in the model. It is a critical finding: it breaks refresh, returns wrong numbers or exposes data, so it should be fixed before publishing. Fix the reference or restore the missing object.
What is detected
n expression(s) reference a measure, table or column that is not in the model. In Power BI Desktop the object shows an error; in the report every visual using it is blank.
Why it matters
Breaks refresh, returns wrong numbers, or exposes data. Fix before publishing.
How to fix it
Fix the reference or restore the missing object. If the object was renamed, update every dependent measure.
