PBI Measure Definition (DAX) won't show up

‎09-17-2020 07:24 AM

In the pbix file shown below, I've selected a measure from the list of columns looking to inspect the DAX behind it. However the formatting options are disabled, and the DAX doesn't show up.  Feel like I'm missing something basic here. Can someone help? This is a file I downloaded from our organization's powerbi.com environment. Thanks.

@Greg_Deckler  Pointing to an SSAS model. I should have mentioned that. 

 

Okay I think I solved my own problem. I'm seeing the measures in SSAS but not in the tables where I would have expected them. Rather they show up under Measures. 

 

Thanks for taking a look.

@bvy Is the data model behind this a Power BI Live data set?
