📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

How do we compare tabular editor with Dax Studio. I think DAX studio has intellisence working?

I have two pbix files (same data set), I need to merge those into one. ie Single Pbix file with all pages from both files. I tried to copy the visuals, some visuals work and some don't. Is it possible to do the above using tabular editor? ...........Thanks in Advance :)

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Hi there, great questions and sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately tabular editor is only for the dataset itself, so the visuals you will have to do manually

[@chiranjeevichiru5602]

Hi when I'm trying to open tabular editor in a report connected to power bi dataset its throwing me a error. Does that mean we can connect to a power bi dataset in tabular editor? please advise

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Hi there, sorry I missed this! What type of error do you get? Bear in mind that Tabular Editor is considered an External Tool, so it will throw a warning message to tell you that it can break your model, so I suggest you make a copy of your dataset first before proceeding. Depending on the error you get, if its just the warning you should still be able to use Tabular Editor

[@chiranjeevichiru5602]

@@SolutionsAbroad Hi there, thanks for getting back to me appreciate it. I'm connecting to a live powerbi dataset and it throw me the error with comment "The remote server returned an error:(401) unauthorized" not sure why. But when I'm open the tabular editor in the actual model it works well. So my question is does it not support " Connected live to Power BI dataset". Appreciate your response in this matter.

[@SolutionsAbroad]

@@chiranjeevichiru5602 Interesting situation you have! Have you tried using tabular editor on the original dataset? If you're connected to a live dataset, i presume your report is connected to another report, download that one and try the tabular editor, that should fix your issue. Let me know if that works!

[@chiranjeevichiru5602]

​@@SolutionsAbroad Yes it works well on the original dataset. My issue is there are few measures created in the report connected to the live power bi dataset which I want to move across to the original dataset. So using Tabular editor makes it easy to copy measures but since I'm unable to connect I couldn't copy them. So is there any alternative way I can copy measures from a live power bi data connected report to the original dataset report? Hope its clear.

I know this is just an example for teaching Tabular Editor, your formula for Sales is wrong, and I'd hate for someone to use it. It should be SUMX(Orders, unit_price * quantity) Your formula sums all the unit prices, sums all the sales quantities and the multiplies the result of the two sums, which provides the correct answer only for a single row in a fact table, but not when aggregating over multiple rows.

[@debbyskitchen_by_funmi]

Well done👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Thank you 👍

[@cparedes2302]

It seems the Tabular Editor is now v3 and it is no longer free...

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Yeah I saw this recently, it looks like we're going to be staying with V2 for a while...

FYI - Intellisense works With the current Tabular Editor version

[@eddyjawed4871]

Why have the creators of this software made it so hard to import tables from Excel or oracle?
