What it does
Tabular Editor 3 is the commercial evolution of Tabular Editor 2 — a Windows desktop IDE for developing and managing Power BI and Analysis Services Tabular models. It adds a full DAX editor with IntelliSense and real-time validation, a DAX debugger, query and data analysis, scripting, and model optimization. It works with Azure Analysis Services, SQL Server Analysis Services 2016+, Power BI Premium, and Fabric.
Why use it
Use it when you want a richer, IDE-grade modeling experience than the free edition — particularly the DAX editor, debugger, and data-analysis features for professional semantic-model development.
