Measures being created in text format

I have a report in which all the new measures created are in text formated and I can't change it.

I can go to the relationship pannel and change the format of the measure in there to decimal number. Then the format box in the ribbon changes to 0.00 but the only available option again is "Text"

 

The measure above is based on this one that was previously formated as decimal number at now looks like this:

if I click on the format box, the only option available is "Text".

 

Anybody knows what's going on? I'm on the december 2020 version

Feel free to email me with any of your BI needs.

@parry2k I have narrowed it down to a calculation group I did. 

 

It is the one you can see in the model "Time intelligence MTD". If I delete it. Everything goes back to normal. Otherwise, the measures are created as text as I described above. 

 

Can you figure out what's wrong?
