Formular bar not showing for existing measures (Direct Connection)
Greetings.
Whenever I click on one of my existing measures, the formula bar should show up, allowing me to edit the code.
This does not happen. At the same time, I cannot find any other way to open the formula bar, save by creating a new measure.
However, if I do that and then click on an existing measure, the formula bar dissapears again.
I read about a similar issue with the nov. 23 update, but I cannot see anything later than that.
Is the issue still not fixed? I use this version: 2.126.927.0 64-bit (februar 2024) (danish language for the month name)

This is beyond annoying. I have the same issue and cannot find anything to resolve it. I took an easy project on me with a short deadline and I cannot re-use measures or view them for references! The amount of stress the issue created is beyond comprehension!

Same problem just popped up on my machine, this is using a very simple report that loads froma single spreadsheet and has been working fine for years! Suddenly no formula bar. Looks like a recurring problem.

Hello Anonymous ,
can you show us a screenshot about what you mean?
Hello Idrissshatila
I've attached a screenshot, where I've clicked on a measure. As you can see, no formula bar is showing up.
Incidentally, I was mistaken. I'm using import mode, not Direct Query. (The data source says DirectQuery to AS, but it's been changed to import, since I also use some sharepoint lists as sources).Were you able to solve the issue? I have the same problem using a legacy report in Import Mode.
Hi Anonymous
I also use this version: 2.126.927.0 64-bit (februar 2024).
When i click the measure, the formula bar show up.
You can try reinstalling PowerBI Desktop and see if the problem is resolved.
