Connecting to DAX Studio JSON
Hello,
I installed DAX Studio and it is showing up as a greyed out option. Do I still need to set up a JSON file for the tool? I saw the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-external-tools but it really doesn't make too much sense to me given that the icon is already present in BI.
Thanks
Hi Anonymous ,
Have you installed the lastest version of power bi desktop and the dax studio in https://daxstudio.org/? Based on my test, even if my PBIx doesn't contain anything, I can get into dax studio in external tool:

Anonymous , have you added some content to pbix file. On the latest version, it should be enabled. It might be disabled for the specific connection type. what is source connection
I don't know the correct term, I apologize.It is the import model.
I am connecting to SQL Server and am using SQL Statements to pull the data into this PBIX. I can successfully connect and get results when I start up DaxStudio.
If it doesn't matter which way I get to DaxStudio, then I am fine, but if there are other functionalities by having it in the external tool option I'd want that. I just came across DS and haven't had the time to delve too deeply into it yet.
Thanks
