Formula bar not showing when attempting to create a report level measure using live connection

Hi, 

 

For me it seems like this is an issue with the November 2023 release. (Version: 2.123.684.0 64-bit (november 2023))

 

Any suggestions?...

 

Found this old thread on the topic, but seems to be re-introduced for me...

Hi @puggaard ,

This has been confirmed as a known issue, the engineer is trying to solve the problem, and if there is any follow-up development, I will reply here as soon as possible.
And we have tested the October version Desktop, and it is working fine. Please use the October version of Desktop to work first.

This problem should be fixed with the next (December) release of PBI Desktop.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Connected via Analysis Services. My co-worker is still on the October release and she doesn't not have the issue.
