How to refresh Local Cache of SSMS IntelliSense for SSAS queries

@bcdobbs 

Does anyone know, how to refresh the local cache of SSMS's IntelliSense for DAX queries?

For TSQL queries the option is there as well as the shortcut. For SSAS queries, I don't see anything.

It is driving me crazy. Is there a workaround?

Hi, @smpa01 

 

I'm not good at T-SQL but I think this feature might not support DAX queries.

My first thought was surely CTRL-SHIFT-R just works... but no you're absolutely right it doesn't at all. Just spent 10 minutes playing with it and I can't work out out how to force it!

Appreciate your Kudos!!

Thanks for trying. This is a real issue. Since it is not updating, I don't know if I have a syntax error or they are just SSMS bug for cache not updating for SSAS queries.

 

Love DAX studio, but copy paste resulting table (for result validation) is a different level of trouble which on the other hand is no issue in SSMS.
