Tabular Editor 3.1.7

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.

Improvements in 3.1.7

  • When a DAX query causes Analysis Services to return an error message, that message is now displayed in place of the previous result grid.
  • Grids can now be zoomed (ctrl+mouse wheel)!
  • Various auto-complete improvements and auto-indent improvements.
  • A new right-click menu makes it easy to add table permissions to roles (previously, you would have to add a table permission by assigning an RLS expression or specify an OLS setting). See issue #257. You can add multiple table permissions across multiple roles at once.
  • The "Select database" dialog now remembers sort order of columns. See #321.

Bugfixes in 3.1.7

  • Fix issue with SaveModelMetadataBackup not working for database IDs (when IDs and Names are different).
  • Fix crash when resetting auto format preferences
  • Fix missing export of TOM in VPAX. Fix message dialog when VPAX contains TOM.
  • Improved DAX (offline) formatting, see issue #306.
  • Fixed issue with FormatDax(...) and CallDaxFormatter() helper functions when using the default (offline) formatter, see #307.
  • Fixed an issue with auto-complete sometimes getting "stuck".
  • Fewer windows/dialogs should have display scaling issues when the Windows display resolution or scaling is changed. See #308 and #81.
  • Auto-formatter should no longer repeat multi-line comment blocks. See [#319](https://github.com/TabularEditor/TabularEditor3/issues/319].
  • Fixed an issue with the background semantic analysis reporting invalid DAX errors, see #311.
  • Opening the BPA manager through the menu bar should no longer cause a crash, see #312.
  • Saving a model in workspace mode, that was loaded from a Database.json file, should no longer cause a "Save failed!" error, see issue #322.
  • Comments are now correctly retained when applying a DAX script, see issue #323.
