DAX Language Support

*my personal version

vscode extension to support syntax for DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) for Power BI. Treats DAX like a standalone language since .tmdl's are bad.

Compatible with .dax file types

Disclaimer

This extension is just a simple parser. It is not a full LSP and it does not have model context. It is a personal project, so ongoing support may not be provided.

Features

  • Syntax Highlighting - Color coding for DAX functions, keywords, operators, comments, and table/column references
  • Autocomplete - IntelliSense with DAX functions, keywords, and your (document-scoped) tables, columns, measures
  • Hover Documentation - View function descriptions, syntax, and return types on hover
  • Parameter Help - Signature help when typing within a function
  • Snippets Library - Auto-insert common DAX patterns from local library
  • Diagnostics (experimental) - Simple warnings/errors for Var usage & Function arg counts

Usage

  • Autocomplete functions and keywords while typing
  • Type dax: to browse code snippets. Refer to src/dax.snippets.json in the repo for list of specialized patterns

Extension Settings

  • "Enable Diagnostics" toggle DAX warnings & error checking
