Installing and Configuring Additional Tools
Power BI professionals responsible for the development of semantic models (datasets) routinely utilize additional tools beyond Power BI Desktop to create and manage their models. For example, they use Tabular Editor to quickly implement changes to measures or add new objects, such as perspectives and calculation groups. Likewise, the ALM Toolkit is routinely used to deploy incremental and metadata-only changes to Power BI.
Another such tool is DAX Studio, a third-party tool used to query data models, edit and format code, browse the structure and metadata of data models, and analyze the performance and execution characteristics of DAX queries. For larger and more complex data models and expressions, as well as projects involving multiple models, DAX Studio becomes an essential supplement to the development and performance-tuning processes.
DAXÂ (Data Analysis Expressions) is the "language of Power BI," as it is used...
