See records is not an option when a measure is used for a matrix

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a matrix that I added a measure for a variance %. This seems to work, but once that measure is added onto the matrix, i loose the ability to "see records" when right clicking on one of the values (not a measure value). See below for pictures of an example.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you to take a look at official document. Actually, it is a known limitation of see records feature.

Use See Data and See Records in Power BI Desktop

See Records has the following limitations:

• You can't change the data in the See Records view and save it back to the report.
• You can't use See Records when your visual uses a calculated measure.
• You can't use See Records when you are connected to a live multidimensional (MD) model.

Maybe you can submit an idea for add support to use this feature on measures.

Regards,

Being unable to use the "See records" feature on visulaizations with a measure means I have to cancel our evaluation of Power BI for now and revert back to using SSRS, which is a shame as I really enjoyed Power BI.
