- nishalitNew MemberWe're glad to let you know that this feature is now Generally Available. Please refer to the Power BI Desktop April release announcement for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-april-2019-feature-summary/ Thanks for your feedback!
- aldis2New MemberPlease add the auto-complete for the formula editor for custom columns.
- stasaNew MemberI think the advanced editor also needs to have syntax highlighting. It would be great also to have a keyboard shortcut for invoking the advanced editor without having to right-click on a query.
- pqfbNew Member1. Advanced Editor should remember size of window upon previous close. 2. Change Advanced Editor to Non-Modal window to allow continuous editing/updating while viewing results.
- amien901New Memberforgot : autocompleting of statements and shows the parameters which are needed for the statement
- amien901New Member'+1 for the highlighting errors and also a find shortcut (Ctrl-F)
- nicholas_morrisNew MemberAlso, add syntax prompts (like in Excel) to help build queries, and a direct access to a better reference for the commands
- Paulx99Kudo KingpinAdding Intellisense to PBI Desktop would be really useful and helpful.
- Dan_AhlvinNew MemberWriting code in Notepad ++ and then copying and pasting into the advanced editor is not very convenient
- ab11New MemberDo this ASAP. eagerly waiting
