Macro to act on selected text?

[bernatagulloesbrina]

Would it be possible to make a macro to act on selected text?
my use case would be wrapping things inside a calculate, or calculate table function
you select the expression, click on the macro and magically the text is now wrapped around with the calculate/calculate table funciton, and the cursor is ready to add some filters!
You should be able to use them while editinc measures, but also writting DAX queries and maybe even c# scripts? That would make the creation of dax scripts faster!

PhraseExpander does something like that

regards!

We do have something like this already on the backlog. Imagine some kind of configurable DAX code snippets that you can assign shortcuts to. Specifically for wrapping an expression in CALCULATE/CALCULATETABLE, this is actually something that most users would probably find useful, so this should be a native feature in my opinion.

Macros are not designed for this, however, as they are supposed to interact with the TOM, not the DAX editor.

yes, is a different kind of programming -- whatever suits you best I'm thinking on trying it up in phraseExpander, although it does not work well in programs with intellisense I wonder if there's any opensource project that (with some extra work) could be installed as Tabular Editor 3 plugin El mié, 3 nov 2021 a las 15:29, Daniel Otykier ***@***.***>) escribió:
