Tabular Editor 3.4.0 downloads:

If you haven't used Tabular Editor 3 before, you are eligible to a 30 day trial, which can be requested after installation. You can also purchase a license.

Important!

NOTE: Tabular Editor 3.3.0 (and newer) uses .NET 6. You may have to install the .NET 6.0 Runtime for Desktop before you can launch Tabular Editor 3.3.0 (or newer). Starting from 3.3.1, the Tabular Editor 3 installer will download and install these prerequisites, if they are missing.

New features in 3.4.0

  • Updated TOM to 19.54.1.
  • Tabular Editor 3 now supports the new DAX window functions announced in the Power BI Desktop December 2022 update.
  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts are here! Do you want to always use CTRL+S to save the model, regardless of context? Do you want to assign a hotkey to perform a model refresh? How about an editor shortcut to select all occurrences of current selection? Find this feature under Tools > Preferences > Keyboard. More info here.
  • All code editors now allow multiple selections (i.e. hold down CTRL and drag using the mouse, to create a new selection), in addition to rectangular selections (holding down ALT while dragging or using SHIFT + arrow keys).

Minor improvements in 3.4.0

  • Tabular Editor 3 now displays the correct icon in the Power BI External Tools ribbon.
  • Consolidated editing of Column-type properties in the property grid. You can now specify a column by typing its name in the property grid. When more than 7 columns are present, a "select column" dialog appears instead of a dropdown. This also fixes #738.
  • Removed square brackets from column names in Table Preview
  • It is now possible to connect and select a different Power BI workspace in the Import Table Wizard.
  • Pivot Grid field list is now a dockable window, see #742.
  • DAX calltips are now formatted correctly when the source descriptions contain HTML tags.
  • All code editors now have much improved rectangular selections, when using the keyboard to perform selection. Moreover, copy/paste now works more intuitively with rectangular selections.
  • Added option to lock menus and toolbar, to prevent accidentally dragging them around, in the Tools > Customize dialog (under the "Options" tab).
  • Scintilla multiple selection add next/add each now respects search flags specified in the Find Dialog.
  • Allow File.SaveModel shortcut to work regardless of context, see #762.
  • It is now possible to cancel a long-running save operation, such as when the database is locked by a refresh operation. See #730.
  • Create/edit relationship dialog can now be resized, see #732.
  • Allow arrow key expand/collapse on all tree lists (including BPA, dependency view and data refresh view), see #775.
  • We've listened to your feedback! "Show relationships from table" is now back in the Dependency View, see #731.

Bugfixes in 3.4.0

  • The AAD connect dialog should now show up as a modal dialog in all cases.
  • Create undo transaction when multiple objects are edited in batch
  • An object property (such as SortByColumn) can now be cleared by right-clicking and choosing "Reset".
  • Right-click shortcut for editing table expression properties (SourceExpression, PollingExpression, etc.) are now available, see #721.
  • Pivot Grid should no longer freeze when fields are dragged on top of it, see #676.
  • Fix issue #723.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented table schema updates and crashed the Import Table Wizard, when attempting to import from an existing Power BI Dataflow, specified in the .tmuo file.
  • Fixed an issue with the DAX debugger generating invalid watch expression DAX queries, see #770.
  • Fixed an issue which would sometimes cause the debugger windows to crash (showing red crosses on a white background).
  • Fixed an issue where the Import Table Wizard would sometimes show Dataflows with no names.
  • "Revert" button should always be enabled now. Moreover, a confirmation prompt is only shown when changes have been made. See #729.
  • Showing the field list no longer clears the Pivot Gird, see #741.
  • Fixed an issue where columns in the TOM Explorer would sometims be "cut off" when the application is launched.
  • TOM Explorer now only allows adding EntityPartitions on Power BI datasets
  • Fix dependency view crash issue, see #758
  • Fixed an issue where floating windows could spawn outside the visible screen area when the application is restarted, see #652.
  • Fix issue with recent server not being persisted.
  • Fixed a few bugs related to how actions appear in the "Model" and/or "Context" menu. For example, "Script DAX" in the Model menu, only scripted objects within the current selection, where as it was intended to script all objects in the model.
  • Fix horizontal scrollbar behavior of text editors.
  • SQL Connection Dialog should now persist its changes to the connection string, see #755.
  • Selecting a database after filtering the list in the "Choose database" dialog, now ensures that the correct database is actually loaded. See #761.
  • Fix issue when scrolling through tables (see #733, and row count not updating when applying filter criteria.
