How to modify dynamic format strings in Power BI?

Hi,

I created some dynamic format strings using the April 2023 release of Power BI Desktop. However, I can't figure out how to edit or modify an existing newly created dynamic format?

 

I searched online and found this article over at fourmoo which is helpful, but I do not have access to Tabular Editor.

Does anyone know if it is possible to edit an existing dynamic formatted string in Power BI Desktop?

 

Thank you

@checkers65, If you manage to keep a table with all your dynamic format strings, you can edit without Tabular Editor,
