Data type selection in new measure for a Tabular model

I am trying the New Measure button when Power BI Desktop (May update) connects to SSAS Tabular. The Data type combo box in the formatting options is enable and can be selected, but it obviously does not do anything (you can change the data format but not the data type of a measure). Is there a reason why it is enabled or should it be disabled?

    As I tested, we can change the data type and format for New Measure, it works properly in visual.

     

     

     

     

     

    This new feature works same way like Excel. We will have document page up soon. You can leave comments under the announcement.
