FYI: You can refresh your model or tables in Power BI Desktop from Tabular Editor 3, now. While this refresh is happening, you can continue working in Tabular Editor 3 OR Power BI Desktop, uninterrupted. You can monitor the refresh progress and cancel it from TE3, too.

Can I just take a moment to show my appreciation for @mkristensen and the Visual Studio team? I'm using the VS 2026 Insiders build every day now, and it simply phenomenal! So, so much faster when loading our solutions, switching git branches, etc. It's such a joy to work with!


If you're having issues connecting to the XMLA endpoints of Power BI / Fabric or Azure Analysis Services, it may be due to missing DLL files. Tabular Editor 2.27.1, just released a few moments ago, fixes this issue: github.com/TabularEditor/…

New release of #TabularEditor 2, with full support for DAX UDFs and Calendars. I also added an "Import from TMDL" option, making it easy to integrate packages of UDFs from daxlib.org. Get it here: github.com/TabularEditor/… #PowerBI #SSAS #AzureAS

maybe the best thing about AI is suddenly everyone seems to start appreciating the importance of a semantic model !!!

Here's some examples of how Tabular Editor 3 can help you write DAX functions. Definitely enjoying this experience. x.com/kurtbuhler/sta…

DAX user-defined functions are available in Power BI. They let you re-use DAX code, logic, and values.

We finally have 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗨𝗗𝗙) in DAX! Don't make mistakes; this is not a user data function in Fabric. This is a new DAX feature, the most important one in the last five years. First article and video to introduce how UDFs in DAX work.…

Here's an interactive semantic model checklist... just from running a C# script in Tabular Editor 3. Link below.

Power BI Desktop hardening! You can now make any changes from external tools or the TMDL view. Super exciting change. Finally all those C# scripts in Tabular Editor work on your Power BI Desktop models, too!

You can get more done with tools like the TMDL view, Tabular Editor, and notebooks (semantic link / labs). They help you scale your tasks both within and across semantic models. We discuss how in this free article, linked below. #powerbi #microsoftfabric
