Cannot create measures in .pbix with Live Connection to a Semantic Model in Power BI Service? Bug?

[Aaron_Coughlan]

Hi all,

Title pretty much says it all, since the last update, I have not been able to create new measures OR view existing measures that exist with a .pbix file when I am connected to a Semantic Model (formerly Datasets) on the Power BI Service.

Is this a bug since the release or intended behaviour?

Thanks.

Hi all,

This problem should be fixed with the next (December) release of PBI Desktop!

Hi @Aaron_Coughlan ,

It is a known issue: Formula bar not showing using live connection in November 2023 release.
We've noticed this issue and there are already engineers working on it. I'll reply to any updates below, so stay tuned to the post.
And we have tested the October version Desktop, and it is working fine. You can download it here:

Would it be fixed in the December 2023 version?
