Similar to excel Fx (insert function)

Hi

I want to find out what type, number of argument a dax formula takes but I do not see in Power BI something similar to excel Fx so would open and show me how many arguments/type of argument each function takes etc. Is there something similiar in Power Bi? Thank you very much.

    When you start to write a DAX function the intelissense kicks in and you can see what are the arguments that you need:

     

    But there is no specific window withing Power BI has in Excel for the specifications on the DAX you need to go to the documentation, there are two places:

     

    Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/

    DAXGuide: https://dax.guide/

     

    The last one has even videos to follow up with the examples.
