Known issue - TMDL semantic models won't open in Desktop after web edited
If you create a semantic model with Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL), you can edit it on the web. If you try to open that semantic model in Power BI Desktop, the semantic model doesn't open. Power BI Desktop can't open the semantic model for editing because it doesn’t recognize the keyword cultureInfo due to a TMDL language update.
Status: Fixed: November 8, 2024
Product Experience: Power BI
Symptoms
When you try to open the semantic model in Power BI Desktop or export using Fabric Git integration, the opening or export fails. You receive an error message similar to: "Unsupported object type - cultureInfo isn't a supported property in the current context."
Solutions and workarounds
To manually fix the issue, open each of the TMDL files. Rename the culture TMDL object type name from cultureInfo to culture.
