Hi All, I am using Power Bi report builder that is pointing to a PBI data model.
When I click on Query Designer it sometimes shows me options to drag drop the required cols and sometimes it just shows me the option to write the DAX. When I then want to change this to Design Mode then I lose all my existing code. How can I stop this from happening please.
Solved! Go to Solution.
