    Hi. Why do we have to edit DAX code (sometimes pretty complex and long) in such a way that the spilling-over formula bar hides all the visuals on the page? Could we please have a separate window for DAX editing? Just like DAX Editor in Visual Studio that we can dock... Or at least an option to turn the not-too-convenient bar into a stand-alone window? Please?

    I do spend so much time shifting between my dataset / visuals and the DAX formula bar because this last one is hiding everything when formulas are too long. A separate window / split view like in excel or docked to the side would be wonderful.

    Additionally i'd prefer the formula bar not to assume completion when pressing Enter/Return.Add a OK/Comfirm or so and use it to mark completion for formula editing.Then you are not required to do Alt + Enter or Shift + Enter to make e new line in the formula code
