Visualize and analyze DAX measure and table dependencies right inside VS Code.
Features
- Dependency Explorer — an interactive graph of your measures, tables and columns, with search, impact analysis, a collapsible layers panel and a tabular list view.
- Rename tables and have every dependent DAX formula updated automatically.
- Delete guard — a table can only be removed when no formula references it.
- TMDL import — pull tables, columns, measures and calculated columns/tables straight from a Power BI TMDL semantic model in your workspace.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
DAXonomy: Open Dependency Explorer |
Launch the explorer webview. |
DAXonomy: Import TMDL Semantic Model from Workspace |
Scan the workspace for *.tmdl files (or pick a folder) and import them. |
How it works
The extension bundles the DAXonomy engine (a self-contained executable). On first use it starts the engine on a local port with a per-workspace database and renders the existing web UI in a webview. Nothing leaves your machine.
Requirements
- Windows (the bundled engine is a Windows executable).
