Power BI Desktop Quick Measure

Question

Power BI Desktop Quick Measure

Nalini Bhavaraju 80

Hello Team,

We have same premium per user licenses at enterprise level for all the team users of Power BI.

As a part of a training, we are creating quick measures in the Power BI Desktop. For one of the users with same license, is not able to view anything when quick measure is selected and others are able to see all the quick measure options.

Is there a specific reason on why this is happening?

My observation is that one user has latest April released Power BI version that is 2.14 where the quick measure is not showing up anything where as the working version is 2.13. Not sure if that is the issue but just Fyi.

Hi Nalini Bhavaraju,

Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, this issue is likely due to a bug or UI change in the latest April (2.14) version of Power BI Desktop. Since Quick Measure options are working fine in version 2.13, I recommend downgrading to that version temporarily until Microsoft addresses this in a future update.

If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments and where you are encountering this error along with the screenshot for reference. We are glad to help you.

Hi Syed,

Thanks for the response.

Do you have any ETA on the fix for this bug? In addition, May I know if the bug is intermittent or is it for all the users who have updated to the latest version of the power BI desktop.

Is it possible for you to send me a email with the version details.

Thanks,

Nalini.

Hello Nalini Bhavaraju,

Thank you for your patience.

The issue with Quick Measures in version 2.14 appears to affect all users consistently, rather than intermittently. There’s no official ETA from Microsoft yet, but I’ll keep you posted on any updates.

In the meantime, you can find and download the older version (2.13) from the link below: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/desktop-latest-update-archive?tabs=powerbi-desktop#november-2024-update-21387820

Before downgrading, please make sure to save any open report files, then:

Uninstall the current (latest) version of Power BI Desktop.

Install the older version (2.13) from the link above.

If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments and where you are encountering this error along with the screenshot for reference. We are glad to help you.
