External Tools - Power BI Some tools does not work.

Submitted by Solution Sage on ‎07-22-2020 05:36 AM

Hi,

 

I have just downloaded latest July 20 update of PowerBI and wanted to use External Tools tab fetaures. At the same time, I also downloaded DAX studio, Tabular editor and ALM tool kit (latest from web today).

 

Then I also enabled Enhanced metadata from preview feature.

 

Tabular editor seems to be opened up with no problem.

 

DAX studio can't open and throws error - "DAX studio executable not found. Contact the tool author for support.

 

ALM tool kit can't open and throws windows error - "ALM tool kit has stopped for working" Windows can check online solution for the porblem.

 

Please suggest what might be the reason. Lt me know if you need more details.

Try the latest version (2.83.5894.822) and create a support ticket for assistance if necessary.

I tested the latest version. It seems to have not helpful.

 

DAX studio not visible, Tabular editor opens up and ALM tool kit shows error (these all true when enhanced metadata is enabled, if not enabled these 2 options grayed out):

 

This time I just copied what error ALM tool kit window shows:

Edit: Just found that ALM tool kit shows same error even when opened standalone (outside PBI), but DAX studio and Tabular editor works fine outside PBI.
