Apr 2023 Update - Cannot Turn on Preview Feature

Hey All, Is anyone else having issues turning on the new Dynamic format string for measures feature? I've downloaded the April 2023 update to PBI desktop. When I go to turn on the new Dynamic Format string for measures feature, I can click ok but it just grays out and doesn't do anything else. If I try to change the other preview features, I have the same issue.

I didn't have this issue with last month's release - I've been using the on-object interaction. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version.

  • miriamLara the latest version didn't fix the issue for me but what I tried is playing with other settings. What I found was that my connection to Python was broken (I don't use it much but there was an error message about it) so I removed the file path to Python and then was able to save the update without issue. So if you're seeing similar behavior - consider going through the other options settings to see if there is an error message popping and fixing that error message and it may allow you to update the settings.

      GregMarbais Noted the same issue in the Phyton configuration. I removed the file path and now start to save my Options configuration.

      Thanks a lot for the insight. 🙂

    Hi GregMarbais, I'm trying to disable the auto date/time, and it's not disabling after I upgraded to April 2023 version. If I go into OPtion> Globla Data Load or Current FIle> Data Load and disable the "Auto date/time" and click in OK, PowerBi is not closing the Options screen and not saving my configuration.

     

    Do you have the same issues with the last April/23 version?
