The demos consist of a total of four videos:
- Introduction
Daniel talks about the basic features of the tool. He explains how the tool was developed and why you need to know about it. - Use of scripts in Tabular Editor
Scripting gives you the option to automate a long list of tasks, including creating measures, adding descriptions, constructing common calculations, hiding measures and much else. - Best Practice Analyzer
Does your model run slowly? This function in Tabular Editor gives you the option to quickly review your entire model and find areas that can be improved. - DevOps
Once you have a data model, can you then control the versions? And can several people work on the same data model? The answer to both questions is yes. In this video, Daniel will explain how to manage data models with a DevOps pipeline.
