Tabular Editor 3: A Power BI and DAX Modeling Tool

The latest version of Tabular Editor, version 3.1.3, has been released with several exciting new features and improvements. As a powerful tool for Power BI and DAX modeling, Tabular Editor allows users to create, edit, and manage their models more efficiently.

Enhanced Statistics Collection

One of the key updates in this release is the ability to collect statistics from data using the VertiPaq Analyzer. This feature can be accessed under Tools > Preferences > VertiPaq Analyzer, and it improves the quality of statistics, especially when columns have IsAvailableInMDX = false.

Improved C# Scripting

Another significant enhancement is the ability to define enums, structs, and classes directly within a C# script. This makes it easier to structure and reuse C# code in your models. To access this feature, navigate to Model > Serialization options under Tools > Preferences.

Serialization Options

The new version of Tabular Editor also includes improved serialization options. Under Tools > Preferences > Save-to-folder or for an existing model under Model > Serialization options, you can control how perspective memberships are applied to new objects. This ensures that your models are saved correctly and efficiently.

Shared Expressions and Structured Data Sources

In this release, shared expressions (Power Query / M expressions) can now be serialized as individual files, making it easier to manage complex queries and data sources. Additionally, an issue that caused a crash when inspecting property values of structured data sources has been fixed.

Other Bug Fixes and Improvements

Several other issues have been addressed in this release, including:

* A JSON serialization error that prevented models from being saved to disk

* Ignored rules still being considered by the Best Practice Analyzer

* Update Table Schema not working for SQL DW / Synapse SQL Pool data sources

* A memory leak when the application is idle
