Create Table

$

I labeled this as Need Help although this may be just commentary on the Desk Top interface.

 

When in Data View one is offered the icon in the Home tab 'Enter Data' : it opens up a pop up named 'Create Table'

When in Data View one is offered the icon in the Modeling tab 'New Table'

 

...... this is a bit confusing in the labeling between these terms..... does one not consider a New table to be a Created table?

 

In Enter Data /'Create Table' pop up : 

   a) there is no cursor indicator to know to type within the column1 field

   b) in order to enable editing in a field once you've left the row, you have to do a fast double click which is not intuitive

 

In New Table mode: one can create the new table using Dax i.e. NewTable2 = Table1

   * but this NewTable2 does not appear in the Edit Queries list - which is an unexpected until you learn this

 

I would expect that Enter Data is meant to be: Create Table via manual data entry

while New Table is meant to be: Create Table via a DAX formula

 

thereby having equal status and in the end one has a new table - that is then listed in the Queries Editor

 

But as is now - the labeling and the behavior are similar yet different.....
