edit calculated or measure field

Hi,    I am just wondering if there's a way to edit calculated/measured field in PowerBI?   Thanks

Hi Mykhael,

 

Thanks for the response. 

 

So I added a new column called "11 week total" that is calculated based on the total of Week1+Week2+Week3+...+Week11 value. (see attached image) It works pretty well but then the next time when I want to update the calculation by adding/removing the column from that original formula, I can't seem to do that. The only option for me is either Rename, Delete or Hide. There's no option for edit.

 

Hope that clarify my question.

 

Thanks

You should see something like this (three dots) in the right area, once you click on those, a menu will be displayed, over there you can select DELETE. If doesnt work I strongly recommend you to reinstall Power BI desktop, maybe is out of date. Let me know if it works please.

 

Best

    Mykhael,

     

    Thanks for the quick response. Having said that, I am not trying to delete the custom column. What I am trying to do is to edit them.

      Hello kfransis

       

      I am sorry about the misunderstanding. I share this screenshot, as you can see it's very easy. But If this doesnt work for you, let me know, I will help you on that, I promise.
