DAX Editor in Power BI Designer

[marco4]

It would be important being able to create calculated columns and measures in DAX in a data model created with Power BI Designer

[pilares1]

Indeed Power BI Designer with the ability to create DAX calculations is definitely a "must-have"

Yes please we need Power Pivot in the Designer! If we can't get Power Pivot lets hope the new Visualizations will be added to the Power View tab in Excel along with HTML5 preview inside Excel prior publishing to the Power BI Sites.

Being able to see the embedded data model would also be beneficial for defining data types, renaming columns, and defining default aggregations. Please add!

Really anxious to know when DAX will be available in Power BI Designer. Why can't the largest software company in the world give us a roadmap for Power BI, as per this article? http://businessintelligist.com/2015/03/01/what-is-power-bi-designer-and-why-you-should-start-playing-with-it-right-now/#comments Thanks.

DAX-support very important for this tool to be useful

Having calculated columns and calculations in DAX is an obvious necessity. So a +1 here.

DAX functionality is on its way.

Is there a timeline for when DAX might be available on the Web App? Works great on the desktop version!

I really like how the look/feel is just like the formula editor in Excel. Nicely done. And the new CONCATENATEX function is awesome.

In Power BI Designer Preview version 2.22, when right-clicking on an existing table, the "New Column" option for creating a DAX calculated column doesn't seem to exist (but "New Measure does). Does anyone know if this is as intended? Possibly it's just available in the paid version? Confused as there is a tutorial on creating DAX Calculated Columns here: https://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/590610
