Navigating Complex Tabular Models Quickly – Developer Edition
As a developer, working with large/complex tabular models – “large” in terms of the number of tables, columns, and/or measures (not data size) – can be frustrating and borderline soul-crushing. Allow me to paint a picture for you…
You’ve just inherited a large tabular model along with a large backlog of “adjustments/tweaks”… rename these columns, adjust the formatting of these measures, etc. You’re thinking “no big deal boss – changes like these are trivial – I got this!”… and then you open the model up and realize it has over 50 tables…several of which have upwards of 50+ columns, and well over 200 measures. Ugh – gross.
