Hi @GAPER 
It sounds like a problem of datatype.
Please check if the datatype is number.
For example, if you used the format function on your measure it got a text datatype.

And then you can't drag the measure to the aggregated category of the graph.

If it is something else please share a link to the pbix with an example.
