DAX Function Argument Dialog Box

Hello,

 

Recently, the DAX function argument box seems to no longer appear when typing a DAX formula.  (the box looks like this [example from Excel]:

It seems to appear at times and other times not.  I find it almost impossible to write a function without using this box for assistance.  I also noticed the look of DAX is different with tables/measures having different icons.  I'm not sure if this is related to the October 2021 Desktop update or if I somehow changed a setting, but I'd really like to have the function argument boxes back.

 

Thanks for any help out there!

Hi @mstone3 

 

Yes, that is related to the October 2021 Desktop update.
