    Hi JohnAlex100 ,

     

    I personally use Notepad++ for DAX/M/SQL etc: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ 

    You can download/create/edit formatting definitions for each language, although there are a lot pre-loaded.

    M

     

    SQL

    That is a great idea! I use Notepad++ daily for other tasks, but I didn't even think to use it store DAX. And my team all uses Notepad++ so if I ever need to share these snippets, it is a software we are very familiar with. Thank you.
