Detachable Formula editor from the report or data view

The detachable formula editor in Power BI Desktop will help as a feature that allows us to work on DAX formulas in a separate, resizable window. This is particularly useful for creating or editing complex measures, calculated columns, or calculated tables while simultaneously viewing the resulting data or visualizations in the report or data view.

Benefits:

  1. Improved Workflow: You can write and debug formulas without switching back and forth between views, making the process more efficient.

  2. Enhanced Visibility: The detached editor provides more space for writing and reviewing formulas, which is helpful for complex expressions.

  3. Real-Time Feedback: You can see the impact of your formulas immediately in the resulting area, ensuring accuracy and reducing errors.

  4. Better Organization: It allows you to focus on formula creation while keeping your report layout intact.

This feature streamlines the formula creation process, making it easier to manage and refine your calculations while maintaining a clear view of their effects on your data model or visuals. Let me know if you'd like guidance on enabling or using this feature! 😊
