What is the version of your SharePoint?
For SharePoint 2019, by default, "Format Current View" is not supported in this environment. View formatting is currently supported only in SharePoint Online.
For SharePoint online, go to the list settings -> Permissions for this list -> Check whether you have at least contribute permission for the list.
