Measure Tools not showing, dax editor bar slow and poorer autofill after october 2021 update.

Submitted by on ‎10-15-2021 01:14 AM

Hello everyone,

 

After installing the 2021 october update, there are some strange stuff happening to the measure tools in pbi desktop:

  1.  When opening a pbix file, I'm not able to edit an existing measure. When clicking on it, the measure tools / dax bar doesn't show up. I need to create a new measure in order to "activate" the measure tools and then modify the existing measure.
  2. The DAX editor / bar is now really, really slow, it evens makes my typing to not be computed by it. Also, when using <tab> to accept an autofill suggestion for a table/measure, it gets stuck in it.
  3. The functions autofill is now poorer for some commonly used functions as the IF function. If I type IF and then hit <tab>, it will autofill the less used function IF.EAGER which can get really annoying.

I tried the latest version to test several cases and all seem to be working fine. You may also try earlier versions from Power BI updates archive.

I have the same behaviour, my first try of a workaround was the creating new masure as you mentioned but didn't work for me, what I also notice is that at least for my and my work colegues this seems to happen only with live conection models such a SSAS
