Hello! In Tabular Editor 2, click File, then preferences. Make sure the box that says 'Allow unsupported Power BI features (experimental) under the Features tab is selected.

Thank you @audreygerred ,

now it's work.

Any kind of suggestion to edit the path for open the tool from power bi?

Thank you!

I have not seen that error before. Have you tried it now that you enabled the experimental option?

[lucadelicio]

No it was present before.
Probably i need to modify the tabulareditor.pbitool.json present in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Power BI Desktop\External Tools.
I try but i'm not able.

Hello @lucadelicio,  and thank you for reaching out to the Community Forum.

If Tabular Editor 2 (TE2) is not showing up as an entry in Power BI Desktop External Tools, I recommend uninstalling Tabular Editor and reinstalling it to see if it registers correctly with Power BI Desktop as an External Tool. You may also need to uninstall and install the latest version of Power BI Desktop, released on June 17, and then repeat the Tabular Editor uninstall/reinstall.
