Properties Pane disappeared?

Have I gone mad? Has the properties pane been disabled? I'm just trying to enter a description for measures in my report so that the description comes up in tool tip for users when browsing fields. 

 

I used to right click on a measure, and there was a properties option, but that is gone. I also used to have a checkbox in view ribbon for properties. Both appear to be gone. How do I enter a description for fields/measures/tables in my model?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Not sure if you are talking about the same thing but if you go to the Model part and select the table, column or measures you have the properties where you can define the name, description and a bunch of other options.

      That is exactly it! Used to be able to do this from any pane, so I didn't go looking there. 

       

      Thanks.

        Prematurely marked this as a solution!

         

        The scenario I'm in is that I connect to a published dataset on the PowerBI service. When I add a custom measure, I need to put in a description for other users and analysts, and for the tooltip functionality in the service. In this scenario, the model tab is not even visible. How do I document the measures that are custom to this report, when the data source is a dataset already published.

         

        Is it possible to unaccept as solution? I don't want to double post, but this will not get any visibility marked as solved.
