Tabular Editor 3.5.1 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.

Prerequisites

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.

Bugfixes and improvements in 3.5.1

  • Updated TOM to 19.60.0.
  • Fixed an issue with the Edit Relationship dialog showing an incompatible data type warning, even if the data types on both columns are identical, see #855. Moreover, when connected to an instance of Analysis Services, the dialog now displays RI violation and duplicate value warnings.
  • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the application to freeze when opening a file or folder structure from disk.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented editing RLS expressions when a role contained a "." in its name.
  • When an object is shown in multiple display folders, the TOM Explorer didn't correctly refresh its properties in all places. This has been fixed.
  • "Model" is now treated as a reserved word in the Semantic Analyzer, see #852.
  • The .pbitool file (used for External Tool integration with PBI Desktop) now uses the updated TE3 icon.
  • The Create Workspace Database dialog now validates the database name, preventing special characters that are not supported by Analysis Services.
  • Fixed an issue with auto-indent overwriting characters in the DAX editor. See #857.
  • You can now create add tables/calculation groups directly to a table group through the table group's right-click context menu.
  • Fixed an regression in 3.5.0, where importing columns or performing a schema update on a table from an MS SQL-flavored data source, would result in the wrong data type being assigned to the column.
  • Fixed an issue where closing a bracket or parenthesis would sometimes "snap" the cursor to the wrong position in the DAX editor.
