How to add a tab Developer inside PowerBI Desktop?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @toplisek
Thank you for reaching out microsoft faric community forum.
Power BI Desktop doesn’t have a "Developer" tab like Excel does. But if you're looking for developer-related features, there are a few tools within Power BI that might be what you need:
Advanced Editor – You can find this under Home > Transform data > Advanced Editor. It lets you view and edit the M code behind your queries.
DAX formulas – In the Data or Model view, you can create measures and calculated columns using DAX.
Performance Analyzer – This is available under the View tab and is great for checking how your visuals are performing.
Custom Visual Development – If you're looking to build your own visuals, you can use the Power BI Developer Tools outside of the app. Here's a link to get started:

Please find an options which I do not find. If I create a Query, how to export result in CSV or Excel?
