Enable Manual and Auto Calculation Feature

Like Excel, It Would be very useful to have the ability to switch between Manual and Auto Calculation

  • It would be good to have a Manual Calculation option on PBIX. Currently, if we add a measure on to the canvas, it starts calculating immediately. It would be good to be able to add all that we want and then press a button to start the calculation. It takes a lot of time with large datasets currently.
  • I think manual calculation is a very important feature that should not be lacking. It often takes forever to do a "batch" of relatively simple things because of this problem making everything slow.
  • Please add this, its really frustrating waiting after every click while designing. Feels like working on low ram machine which lags at every step of work you perform. Excel was much better at this, it was designer friendly.
  • This is a big deal, many users are still new to Power BI and still prepare inefficient report Manual calculation would greatly support the learning curve and avoid deterring newcomers
  • Please add this feature asap. Power bi becomes obsolete as it takes too long to do large database calculation. Like for large Excel files, it is sometimes needed to stop calculation in order to work and then just calculate only ones the spreadsheet to see the result of your work. A quick solution would be very appreciated.
