DAX Optimizer charges for the analysis of the models. A single analysis of a model is called "run". You can pay based on Consumption (every run counts) or you can have a subscription with multiple runs per day on a limited number of models.

DAX Optimizer can analyze models created with tools such as Power BI Service, Desktop, and Analysis Services.
However, the Desktop license can only analyze models created with Power BI Desktop, while the other licenses do not have such limitations.

There are two ways to share licenses in DAX Optimizer:

• Groups: You can assign your license to a group within the same organization that uses Microsoft work accounts. Group members can perform analyses, view results, mark issues as fixed, and add comments on each model.
• Workspace sharing: You can share workspaces with other users, allowing them to view the results of model analyses without the ability to edit them. This option is available to all users, regardless of account type, as long as they have a DAX Optimizer account in the same region where the models are stored.

Yes, you can also use the Microsoft work account to access Power BI with DAX Optimizer as well. Indeed, this is the recommended approach, since it simplifies the export and analysis process and also allows you to use groups.

Yes, you can use different accounts.

DAX Optimizer allows you to use a Microsoft work account or a Tabular Tools account. The Tabular Tools account is exclusive to DAX Optimizer.

To analyze a model in DAX Optimizer, you first need to create a VPAX file using a separate tool; during that step, you need your work account to access the Power BI service. Subsequently, you can complete the analysis using your Tabular Tools account. While using the same work account for both DAX Optimizer and Power BI may make the process smoother, you also have the option to use different accounts.

A group in DAX Optimizer is a kind of virtual account that multiple users can access at the same time and share the same models. For this reason, a group must have its license.

Note that you must log in to DAX Optimizer with a Microsoft work account to use groups. Also, only the organization administrator can create and manage groups.

An organization administrator in DAX Optimizer is a user with elevated privileges who can manage groups and perform administrative tasks.

Organization administrators are designated to users logging in with a Microsoft work account. The initial assignment occurs automatically when the first user accesses DAX Optimizer using a Microsoft work account linked to the organization.

While future updates will allow administrators to add more administrators or delegate their role, please reach out to our support team at info@tabulartools.com for any immediate changes.

While we do not currently provide a formal trial period, we invite you to explore the capabilities of DAX Optimizer by creating an account. As part of this experience, you can access sample models that showcase the features and functionalities available within the platform.

Yes, you can pay by bank/wire transfer, but only for yearly subscriptions or a bundle of runs.

Yes, if your company requires a number of licenses that is not available online, we are more than happy to provide a personalized offer tailored to your specific requirements.

For Enterprise licenses and specialized demands, please get in touch with our dedicated sales team at info@tabulartools.com. They will work closely with you to create a customized plan that aligns perfectly with your business goals.

Yes, you can cancel the subscription at any time. When you cancel a subscription, it will still be active until the end of the period you already paid.

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any point in time.

When upgrading, you will pay the prorated difference between the two plans for the remaining duration of the current billing cycle. If you downgrade, you will receive a time extension to compensate for any potential credit appropriately.

Yes, you can change your billing frequency whenever it suits you. If you decide to switch your billing frequency, your subscription will restart at the time of the change, and you will be charged for the first new billing cycle.

To make these modifications, visit your account dashboard on our website. If you need assistance or have any questions, feel free to contact our support team at info@tabulartools.com.

Yes, your account can access the data regardless of an active subscription.

Indeed, users that run the analysis with the Consumption license have unlimited access to the result of each "run". We could introduce an automatic deletion of unused accounts after a period of inactivity. Still, it’s not yet implemented and should not be related to the subscription state.

No, the Consumption license does not work as a recurring subscription.

Instead, it’s like buying tokens for a game arcade. These tokens can be used whenever you want to play as long as your membership remains active. In the context of DAX Optimizer, this membership is referred to as a "contract". It is automatically activated when you make your initial purchase and will expire if you do not purchase any additional runs for two consecutive years.

We only collect the billing information to sell our products and services: company name, address, contact name, and email. Such information is stored in the United States using Microsoft Azure’s cloud services as Tabular Tools is a US company. If you pay by credit card, part of this information is shared with Stripe, which processes the credit card transaction. If you pay by using PayPal, part of this information is shared with PayPal. We do not collect any additional information, and we do not share the information we collect.

We collect fewer personal data for service users: only name and email. This information is stored in the United States to validate access to the services provided by Tabular Tools in different world regions. Again, we do not share the information we collect to deliver the service.

For a longer description of all the legal terms, you can reference our Privacy Policy. You can find a longer list of services involved. Still, we do not transfer any data to those services (for example, if we show a YouTube video, you have to be aware of the information that YouTube could collect, but we do not send any data to YouTube).

Yes, your data is safe!

DAX Optimizer analyzes only the VPAX file of your model. The VPAX file is a compressed model version containing only the metadata and the DAX code. It does not have any actual data from your tables. Also, we care about your privacy and do not share your data with anyone.

The model data is stored and processed in the region you choose for the model. For example, if you keep the model in Europe, we store and process the VPAX file in Europe, and such data is never transferred to other regions.

Find more information in our Data processing documentation.

In DAX Optimizer, a "region" refers to the geographical location where your data is stored and processed. When creating an account, you can choose the region where your data will be stored and processed. This allows you to comply with regional data protection regulations and ensures your data remains within a specific geographic area.

Find more information in our Data processing documentation.

Deleting your models and workspaces from the DAX Optimizer app is straightforward, ensuring you have control over your data. When you decide to delete your account, rest assured that all associated data will be promptly removed.

To enhance your experience, we are actively working on implementing a data retention mechanism. This upcoming feature, set to launch in 2024, will allow you to automatically delete older models from our servers while retaining a copy in your cache, providing you with even more flexibility and control over your data.

If you discover a bug while using DAX Optimizer, please visit our GitHub repository and create a new issue detailing the bug. Our development team actively monitors the repository and will address the problems reported promptly.
