Perspectives with no objects
What it checks
Perspectives that contain no tables. Adding any column, measure, or hierarchy to a perspective adds its table, so a perspective with no tables is empty.
Why it matters
An empty perspective still shows up in clients that offer perspectives, such as Excel, as a named view of the model that contains nothing. It is either an abandoned start or the remains of objects that were removed, and it leaves the next person asking what it was for.
How to fix it
Add the objects the perspective should show, or delete its file from the perspectives folder. Power BI Desktop does not manage perspectives, so they appear only in models built or edited with other tools.
