Cant select my fields for use in measures?

[Guitarmageddon]

I have some data in the data model, and when I go into the measures to create a new one, the tables/columns etc are not pulling up as choices to use hen start typing them. I thought well maybe my query was broken so I physically copied the spreadsheet into the workbook and tried adding to the data model that way, and still the same thing. I see the various fields etc to use in a pivot table out of the data model, but for some reason cant select any of them for measures. What am I missing? Thanks all

Well it depends. What software are you using? What formula are you trying to write?
