Power BI Challenge 10 - Supplier Insight from Luca (Newcomer)

Luca,

DAX Studio is an absolutely invaluable tool for optimizing your DAX code. If you frequently work with large data sets, where the speed of your reports is an issue, then I would say learning DAX Studio is a high priority. We have compiled a lot of good information about DAX Studio here. In addition, in early 2021 we will be releasing a course in the training portal on DAX Optimization by Enterprise DNA Expert Nick Mone, and Nick will spend a fair amount of time in this course going through DAX Studio and Vertipaq Analyzer.

If you don’t often deal with large datasets with speed/optimization issues, I would say from a tools standpoint to spend your time learning Tabular Editor 3 (not yet released, but coming soon). This has a much more complete development environment than DAX Studio, and also allows you to work with calculation groups.

Ultimately, both are important tools well worth learning.

I hope this is helpful.
