New/existing Measures: Format could not be changed to 'Text'

[Proofinity]

Dear Power BI community,

unfortunatelly I'm not able to change my measure formats to 'Text' in multible semantic models. This issue occurs for new and existing explicit measures in Power BI Desktop and Tabular Editor 2. Without this functionality I'm not able to apply conditional formating logic or use SVG DAX measures.

Power BI Desktop (MS Store) - Version: 2.126.1261.0 64-bit (Februar 2024)

If I try to change measure format to 'Text' in Power BI Desktop it falls back to default format 'General'.

Tabular Editor 2 - Version: 2.22.0

Format 'Text' is not available via dropdown menu in section Basic/Format String/Format.

Is this a bug?

Thanks for helping

Hi @Proofinity ,

I can't reproduce your problem, I created a measure="This is text", as per your sample.
Format is still the text option and it works fine for me.
I see you mentioned that you are using the MS store version, would downloading the latest version from the official download link solve your problem?

Download Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Best regards.

Hi Community Support Team,

Thanks for you quick response. I've deinstalled my MS Store version and installed the version from Official Microsoft Download Center. Both versions seems to have same version numbers: 2.126.1261.0

Unfortunatelly the experience is still the same, format change not possible. Also checked the posibility in model view in Power BI Desktop.

What else could I try? 🤔
