How do i enable function tooltip when reviewing my measures?

Hi,

 

I wanted to enable the tooltip within a measure for easy correction purposes, the tooltip only shows up when i type a brand new line or a new function. if i backtrack to some function within the measure it wont show the tooltip

 

No tooltip when i select "1":

With tooltip:

That change happened in the Oct-21 version and I,m not sure MS team has a plan to change that or keep it as is.

@desmond11 not sure if you can really control it, there is no shortcut for Intellisense.

i initially didnt think about this but until i attended a PBI training, and i notice her PBI has that tooltip display on existing measures when she clicked on them.. so i thought it was a setting that i can enable.. its alright if thats the case. thanks

That is because of the different Power BI version. Your Power BI desktop version should be October-2021, am I correct?

Yes its the latest one. Oct-21
