Tabular Editor 3.0.4

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.

NOTE: If you previously installed one of the BETA builds, you will have to manually uninstall that before installing this new version.

Known issues

  • Table Import Wizard didn't make it to this release due to some high-priority bugs that had to be fixed. It will be available ASAP! As a work around, simply create a new table and specify the partition query (SQL or M). Then, right-click the table and choose "Update Table Schema..." to import columns.
  • See roadmap for more information.

Bugfixes in 3.0.4:

  • Refreshing the Best Practice Analyzer no longer causes a crash

New features in 3.0.3:

  • Right-clicking on an item in the Processing View now lets you requeue that item or, if the item represents a single table, opens a data preview of that table.

Bugfixes in 3.0.3:

  • When the semantic analyzer detects an error on a calculated column/calculated table, it no longer modifies the columns on that table (this was previously causing relationships to be dropped in some circumstances)
  • Fixed an issue with enabled-state of certain controls on the Find/Replace dialog
  • Several bugfixes based on telemetry and error reports, such as:
    • Copy/pasting columns with lineage tags now works
    • Pasting a table over an existing one when the table is renamed no longer causes a crash
    • "Revert" button now reconnects to AS before refresing the local TOM, instead of causing a crash
    • Right-clicking in the property grid while it is empty no longer causes a crash
    • And many, many others...
  • Fixed MRUs not being properly saved for the "Server" dropdown
  • Fixed several issues with the Workspace Mode not properly loading data source override values from the User Options file. See #28.
  • Fixed and improved several "phantom" DAX semantic errors (support for ROLLUPADDISSUBTOTAL, COUNTROWS with 0 arguments, etc.)
  • Improved autocomplete / calltips for several DAX functions (TOPN, TOPNPERLEVEL, interval parameter for DATEADD/DATESINPERIOD/PARALLELPERIOD), after RETURN keyword, etc.
