How can I add comments to a formula ?

[MagalyAzevedo]

I would like to add some comments in some of the calculated columns for maintenance purpose.

Is there a way to add these comments in power bi?

@MagalyAzevedo Yes, use // in your DAX formula for a single line or /*  and */ for multiple lines. Also, in the Properties pane of your Model view in the Desktop, you can add a Description.

@Greg_Deckler thank you so much!  We have created a full set of metrics for IT and it is getting complex, so I need to start adding some documentation : )

Also, "--" works just like "//" for single-line comments.
