DAX Arguments Pop-up

Hi,

Does anyone know a quick way/shorcut for making the DAX arguments pops up? In Excel, the formula arguments always pops up when the mouse cursor is within the respective function brackets. I am a new Power BI user, when creating and/or editing a measure, it is quite helpful to have the function arguments listed for guidance.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Francag ,

When you are in the formula bar, and you start typing i.e. IF, you should see all Functions that start with IF. Then tab on that IF and the engine will supply the parens and the arguments should show.  Sometimes when you are editing, you have to mouse around to make this happen.  If this does not work for you, I would check your settings, there may be a switch.


Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
