Bravo for Power BI is a free open-source tool that helps you create a Power BI model with a simple user interface.

- Analyze Model: Find the more expensive columns and tables
- Format DAX: Format your DAX measures
- Manage Dates: Create a Date table that you can connect to multiple tables and applies time intelligence functions to your measures.
- Export Data: Export data from Power BI to Excel and CSV files.

Bravo is not a replacement for more advanced tools like DAX Studio and Tabular Editor. Bravo is for users who do not need that level of complexity. If you need more details and options, you should use other more advanced tools. But when the task is simple, or if you are still moving your first steps with Power BI, Bravo is there to help you.
