New measure

[Gianluigi]

Hello
excuse the question. I would like to create a new measure. After giving the name after the = sign I write in DAX. I can't figure out how to wrap by creating automatic line numbering to write on multiple lines.

Thank you

Hello
I found the solution. I probably didn't explain myself.

With shift + Enter you wrap and the lines are numbered

Hello
my problem is not the syntax of dax but that I can not automatically number the lines of code.

Example

1 ....
2 .....
3 .....

Hi @Gianluigi ,

I dont understand, 

There are line numbers in dax already

I create a new measure as in figure 1. The line number 1 is numbered with the name of the measure after the = sign
How do I wrap so that the second line is automatically numbered with the number 2? as in the second image.
Pressing enter does not wrap.

I hope I made you understand

Hello
For example, this code
1 var1 =
2 VAR _WorkStart =
3 TIME( 8; 00, 0 )
I copied and pasted it. If I want to write it I type var1 = then I would like to wrap so that you number the second line ect. Ect. After writing var1 =

Hi @Gianluigi ,

I think 1 should be the name for first var, you need to add a space between it and VAR function.

Your code should look like as below.

Dax =
VAR 1 = ...
VAR _WorkStart = TIME(8,0,0)
RETURN
...
