How to turn on line number in DAX query formula bar

Hi, I am new. Excuse my simple question but I can't find the anwer so I must ask. Possible I am not searching the right keyword.

 

I've seen people writing mulitple lines in query formula bar and each line has a line number in the front for easy reading.  How do I enable that?  Mine doesn't have numbers in the front.  Thank you.  

Expected result: number 1, 2, 3 in front of each line

Hi @Diemples 
The numbers appear automatically when you press alt+ enter.

You can also use a Dax formatted to make the code even more readable.
The link for formatting :

https://www.daxformatter.com/

You can paste the code on the head of the screen and just press "format"
