Power BI desktop Icons Greyed out

Hi @aj_9 

As it has no data and visuals added into the report page, by default it is disabled.

Once when we start adding the data, most of the options gets enabled

Hi @aj_9 the shown behavior is normal and expected if it's a blank report, as there isn't any data yet that you could refresh, no relationships you could manage and no data you could build measures or calculations on:

Most of those icons are enabled as soon as you add any data to your report:

Since you're not showing if you have any data (queries) in PBI Desktop, I would say this is normal behavior.

You cannot add a measure or a calculated column if you have no data in your model.

New table button is available, meaning you can create a new calculated table (Calendar, with customer start and end dates, for example) even if you have no data loaded yet.

Click Get data and get some data to your model first.
