Preview Visual Calculation Button Not Visible

I have downloaded the latest version of power bi desktop 2.126.1261.0 and I have enabled the Preview feature but can't see the button? Not sure what I am doing wrong? Will it only show for certain circumstances?

    try clicking on the add value --> it should show at the top . 

     

    if not, then there is something in the visual that prohibit the use of visual calculation .

     

    this is the version i currently have  .

  • This answer does help!  Sometimes  you might also find an 'Add Calculation' button on the three-dots menu of the visual.

     

    ** Note - I have found that if you have a PARAMETER involved in your visual, then you can't add a visual Calculation - the button is just missing from all of these places.  If you add the visual calc first, then the parameter just won't work.  (in my example, I had a parameter specifying Year/Month/Week/Date as the X-axis)

     

    This makes sense - it means they didn't build the visual calc to be able to take in other display-time variables (which is how I think of a Parameter).
