M language instead of DAX in New Measure

Hi! 

 

Please excuse if its a stupid question. It been a month since I started learning Power BI. 

Today I notice that my power BI desktop is acting crazy. When i tried to create 'New Measure', instrad of DAX, i found M language working, as shown in the Pic below. Can you please suggest how to reset?

Hi @SDVN ,

 

In the October Desktop version, the DAX announcement column prompt was replaced with M style, and the parameter prompt was no longer displayed. If you don't want this feature, you can try the version before September.

@AlexisOlson thank you very much for the response 🙂

 

Is it supposed to look like the below screenshot? Can you help me understand why the look and feel is changed?

I think it's just a visual style update with the October release of Power BI.
