Unable to create a measure in Power BI File

Hi Experts

 

I have a Power BI File which has been working just fine until today - when i try to add a measure to a measures table the file just hangs - previously this was not the issue - i have updated Power BI Desktop to Sept 21. I am working with Direct Query in my report. 

 

I am connecting to Redshift db back end. I cannot work out why the file it not allowing me to add new mesures to any table.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Does your problem still persist? Is there an old existing measure in your pbix file? Please use Performance Analyzer to examine the report element performance in the file and check if there is any element that are not performing well. Later validate if you can create new measure after optimizing these...

By the way, can you create new measure in other existing pbix files or a brand new pbix file?
