Temperature and last accessed column in DAX Studio

[tobny76]

Hi!
Sorry for posting this question in maybe wrong forum.
I have been looking at this amazing guide from Chris Webb - The complete guide to Power BI memory usage and memory errors

If I am looking at the temperature column in Vertipaq analyzer from Tabular Editor the "Temperature" column and "last accessed" column is working (see picture below).
But when using vertipaq analyzer from Dax studio I don't have any values in the columns.
I am using the latest version of DAX Studio 3.4.0.
How can I get it to work even from Dax Studio?

DAX Studio can only show Temperature and Last accessed when you connect to a Power BI Service / Premium semantic model via the XMLA endpoin, that’s where the Service keeps and exposes those metrics. In a Power BI Desktop local model, these values will show up as blank/0 because that local engine doesn’t maintain/expose the same temperature tracking.

Hi @tobny76, 

Please be informed that DAX Studio's Vertipaq Analyzer shows temperature and last accessed values only for Power BI Service/Premium models (via XMLA endpoint), where these metrics track recent column usage to prioritize memory retention—"hot" columns stay resident longer. These fields appear as zero or empty in Power BI Desktop because the engine does not maintain temperature data locally.

If this helped, please mark as Answer and give kudos 👍

I thought I connected to the power bi service both via TE and DAx Studio via XMLA-endpoint.
But I can see it is working now if I do it again from Dax Studio, so it was a misstake to open Dax Studio from External tools in the desktop!
Thanks for your help!
