Can't use any metrics in any plots

[jacquesherv]

HI there! 

It looks like I cannot use any metrics for any plot anymore. I cannot drag any values in the parameters field. Also, in the exisiting charts where I could drag metrics in the Y-field before, I cannot choose to 'Sum', or 'Count' anymore, but only 'Remore Field' for example (picture below). 

This happens to all charts and all reports I've created. It seems like an access got blocked or something...

Does anyone can help me out with this please? Thank you so much 🙂

Hi, @jacquesherv 

Check your data type to check if the data fields you use for plotting contain non-numeric values (such as text or errors).

Or you can try recreating the visuals and pbix files and see if the problem persists.

Make sure your Power BI software is up to date, and you can review the following documentation for updates:

Please provide the PBIX file if you can. Please also pay attention to the security of your private information

hi @v-yohua-msft , thank you so much for replying! 

I've been trying to recreate the visuals, but it's still the same. I cannot grab any numeric dimension inside the parameter field. What is strange is that it used to work before. I believe there is something to check in the data model? 

What's the PBIX file? 

Thank you for your time.

Hi, @jacquesherv 

A pbix file is a file in your Power BI desktop that you can drag into the reply box when replying

When you share a PBIX file, make sure you don't leak your privacy.

hi @v-yohua-msft, I've been able to fix the issue by turning off the option 'Discourage implicit measures' from the Model properties.
