I made this and find it useful. This will add an external tool menu entry to the Power BI Desktop that opens your default web browser to the Enterprise DNA Analyst Hub landing page.
You will need administrator rights to do this.
To install, copy the attachment to the location “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Power BI Desktop\External Tools”
Thanks for providing the forum with a great trick @samaguire. We always welcome bright ideas from interested individuals like you and we hope that you continue to share them with us in the future.
You need at least the July 2020 release of Power BI Desktop.
If you do have this, then you may be running 32bit in which case the folder could be under “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Power BI Desktop\External Tools”.
From my personal development efforts, I use the eDNA DAX Clean Up Tool extensively, much more often that the other tools, so I wanted to reduce my click count. I extended @samaguire’s analyst hub external tool link; this one goes directly to the DAX Clean Up tool.
Thought I’d share it in case anyone might find it useful.

Just download the daxcleanuptoolenterprisedna.pbitool.json (7.6 KB)
file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Power BI Desktop\External Tools folder, then restart Power Bi Desktop.
I don’t see the the location you indicate on my machine (in Windows explorer). Is it because I installed Power BI desktop by means of the Microsoft Store application, and therefore I can’t add extensions via the method you describe? Is there a work-around?
Hello, i’ve been using Edna since a few months ago, and for now, and i’ve just installed “Enterprise DNA Tools”, placing 6 tools on my External tools, from “Enterprise DNA Website” to “DAX Editor Pro”.
Meanwhile i’ve seen a video on youtube where i’ve found more External tools fom Edna, done a google search and found this link.
So, in this sense, i’d like to know:
how many pages exist on the Edna site to download external tools?
what is the current “state of the art” on the findings of this page? Did Sam create a official “kind of External tools second download” package to download, or people are using the links from this page?
