No reference for the columns listed in Dataset

When I am trying to calculate a new measure in PowerBI, it doesn’t pop up the results for already available columns in Dataset instead it only pops up the suggestion for the measure which I calculated earlier. Please note that I have tried re-installing and repairing PowerBI but it's not working. The app is updated to June 2023 version. The columns are not hidden either. M intellisense is enabled also. Please advise what is going wrong here. It was working fine earlier and suddenly it stopped showing the suggestions of columns while creating a new measure
I look forward to the solution.

Hello @Raghuvanshi ,

 

Not all dax fuctions can use columns, some of them can just work with measures. To check if things are working fine, try the dax funvtion COUNT(<column>)  and  it should allow you to reference a column.

@Idrissshatila Thank you for your reply.

I would like to give you additional information of the problem which I am facing. I am not talking something specifically about using COUNT function. Here is the screenshot for your reference

While creating measure, i only get the calculated measure for the reference. This file has API integration with our tool and I am working on static data. The dataset has many columns but none of the column pops up while i start writing measure.
