Visual calculations and field parameters don't see to be very compatible with one another. I can create a visual calculation, but when I click 'Return to report' and try to go back into visual calculation edit mode, it's grayed out and I can't do anything else with it.

    which version of Power BI Desktop are you using? We enabled the use of field parameters in the October release, so please confirm you are using at least that version.

      I am using the November 2024 release. 2.138.782.0 64-bit. I think that while field parameters were enabled last month, there's still some bugs that need to be worked out. Also worth mentioning in the affected line chart visual I am using a pair of field parameters on the Y-axis; 1 for the current value of the selected measure (with month/year on rows), and 1 for the previous value of the selected measure (same period last year).
