DAX MEASURES Errors

Hi Guys/Ladies,

 

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this questions. Basically I'm experiencing only errors when i'm trying to create a new DAX Measures or Manage Measures.

I'm using it on Excel 2016 (32 bits)

 

Error 1: Somehow New Measures is not responsive no matter how i click it. Nothing happen.

Error 2: I always get this error (Screenshot below) and it just shut down my entire excel and i've to restart my laptop to get it running again.

 

Anyone out there know a solution to these sort of error?

Totally appreciate it2017-06-04_15h24_14.png

Well it could be an error in your dax, or it could be the broader crashing issue.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

Thanks @MattAllington for the quick respond.

 

I'm not too sure if there error in my DAX, since i'm doing a tutorial now.

But I cant even get my New Measures responsive to my click, that troubling. And i did visit that link become posting here as that doesn't really help me.

 

Cheers

Have you restarted the Addin?  I recommend Defcon 1
