@Cecio , what is your data source.

Make sure the measure is selected as of now and no pending change in formula.

 

Also check if this option in model tab is working

I import from an access table

Hi, @Cecio 

The screenshot is too small to identify the specific content.

Can you share your measure formula again?

 

I suspect it is  likely that the result returned by your measure is recognized as containing data in "text" format which will not be allowed choose how the values in this measure are displayed.

If there are  multiple type of values  or fused case in  your measure, Powerbi   couldn’t identify which format type to choose  due to multiple format.

It depends from Tabular Editor

When I use tabular editor to create a calculation group I cannot modify the format of any measure in PowerBi

Any help?

Hi ,  @Cecio 

Sorry, I didn’t understand what you mean in "use tabular editor to create a calculation group", can you explain it in more detail?
