Creating Measures with Data Mart tools in the Power BI service

I have tried several times to create measures with the data mart tools provided in the Power BI service

But when I click on the tick button or CR then the code is wiped and all that remains is Sales£ = 

When i go to the associated data set and try to use the measure there is no error but the measure returns nulls 

What am I missing ?

I tried to create a measure many times yesterday , by typing the formula in different ways and also by using intellisense. But each time I tried to save the formula it was erased. I tried again today by seleting the intellisense again and it saved it right away. 

Looks like someone has fixed the problem , so thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

What happens if you just try and create the measure with the following below?

Sales = SUM('Sales_Data'[Sales Amount])

 If that does work maybe you need a space between the name and the symbol?
