See exactly what your DAX is doing.
Paste any measure. Get a SQLBI–style walkthrough — pills, row context, context transition, filter modification — rendered exactly how Marco and Alberto draw them in their articles. No signup. Every walkthrough is sharable.
SQLBI explains it once. Then you have to apply it to your measure.
Marco and Alberto’s articles on row context, filter context, and context transition are the canonical DAX explainers. They’re visual, they’re honest about the cliff, and they’re written for the right audience — you.
The catch is they explain the concept with their measure, against their data model. When the measure that’s confusing you isn’t Marco’s, you have to translate.
This tool removes the translation step. You paste your measure. We render the same diagrams, applied to your measure, with your tables and your iterations and your filter pills.
One textarea. No setup.
Drop a measure in. The page tells you immediately which of the six SQLBI concepts apply — starting filter context, row context, context transition, filter modification, aggregation, recap — before you commit.
Don’t have a model? That’s fine. Measure-only mode renders the same structural walkthrough with placeholder values. Bind a built-in model or upload a .pbit to see real numbers fill in.
The same diagrams Marco draws — on your measure.
The walkthrough renders six section types using SQLBI’s exact visual language: hand-drawn marker pills, pastel blue for the source context, pastel orange for the target context, red X over removed filters, the canonical “disassembly” from a row context to N filter context pills for context transition.
It’s deterministic. No LLM in the loop. Every number, every pill, every X is produced by introspection against the bound model — or labelled symbolic when there isn’t one.
Five measures, five SQLBI concepts.
Each link below opens a real walkthrough — same renderer you’d get from pasting your own measure. The demos cover the canonical lessons from the SQLBI articles on row & filter context, context transition, and filter manipulation.
Slicer Builder — filter a report by a measure threshold.
A sibling tool built on the same SQLBI pedagogy — for the “I want a slicer to filter by sales amount” case Marco rebuilt in his article on filtering measures through slicers. Granularity-aware, calculation-group powered.
