Hi @saivina2920 ,

First, you can download the Human Resources Sample .pbix file from here. Then open it in Power BI Desktop, click Data view, you can find all data from Employee table. And you can find all the fields,measures and calculated column in Fields pane...

You can see the measures, but can't see and edit the formula of measures in Power BI Service...

Best Regards

@saivina2920 , If you have downloaded a pbix, you should be able to open that power bi desktop and check details. What is the issue you are facing

I know this is an ancient post, but I thought I'd give it a shot.  When I click on an existing measure in a report to see the Dax code behind it, I don't get the box that you've underlined in the screenshot above - it's just missing.  I can't find any way to see the code in a measure - any thoughts?

You awesome...Thanks for the same.
