I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps this slide deck might help? It's titled "Make the case for Tabular Editor 3" - we will publish more information about it soon.

Not surprising but it’s a damn shame, since this gives European automakers an excuse to keep sitting on their hands…

I want to see Satya and other US tech leaders come out and say that they unequivocally condemn this direction their country is taking. Sure, established companies won’t be able to boycott Microsoft, Google, or AWS any time soon, but European startups are certainly going to steer clear.

It was physically painful to watch. The only silver lining is that this farce seems to strengthen European solidarity and support for Ukraine, which is needed now more than ever.

Some of us become grumpy old men sooner than others. I salute @brento.bsky.social for playing along for such a long time. Eventually, though, even the mighty must fall. Welcome to the club 😁

@data-goblins.com wrote this fantastic article a while ago data-goblins.com/power-bi/wha... which encapsulates EXACTLY the sentiment of the gentleman you spoke to. When even MVPs start to feel overwhelmed by all the new stuff, maybe it's time to take it down a notch, and prioritize QoL for a change?

It’ll have the exact same limitations as external tools, for exactly the same reasons.

Hmm, I need to do some more testing, because a simple query that used TREATAS as a table filter in SUMMARIZECOLUMNS produced a more complex query plan, than one that used an equivalent FILTER. However, both queries produced exactly the same storage engine queries. This was against SSAS 2022.
