Are there any tools available for stepping through a DAX expression and seeing the intermediate result set?
I tend to have to break the DAX expression up into separate parts when debugging, but that sometimes changes the context or creates an intermediate value that I can't directly see (ex tables).
It would be nice to be able to step through a DAX expression and see the results.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @NuTek,
Currently, there is no build-in option for DAX Debugger which is similar in functionality to what has been done in DaxStudio. Following are some similar ideas shared on Power BI Ideas, you can vote them up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.
