I'd like the ability to create measure templates. Where I could define a DAX calculation and then specify variables in the calculation that I could replace. I pick the template I wont to use, am pr...
It would be helpful to have native support for common DAX patterns (e.g. http://www.daxpatterns.com/time-patterns/) to avoid the tedium of generating DAX by hand. Support for this feature would evolve beyond implicit measures to implicit measure groups. Many financial dashboards take advantage of period comparisons and it gets to be very tiresome to have to recreate MTD, QTD, YTD, YOY, etc. for each iteration of an implicit measure. Many of the simple measures like SUMX(Sales,[Sales Amount]) represent the tip of the iceberg for more involved reports and dashboards. Template/Pattern support would help to accelerate development time for analysts. Many of my coworkers struggle with DAX concepts and the patterns that Marco Russo and others have documented would benefit from automation support. Some models get to be pretty tediuous from all of the hand coding of DAX with the same patterns.
