Side note, if you aren’t using Tabular Editor as a model developer you should be. It’s a fantastic tool for any intermediate to advanced modeling scenarios, and the only way to add calculation groups (today).

Hiding Measures from [DAX] Intellisense!

Video by: Reid Havens

When creating datasets with build permissions (shared datasets), many of us know to hide fields from the data pane. But did you know you can also "hide" measures from the intellisense list in DAX? In this video learn how to use tabular to configure a table property to hide any measures inside of that table, from any DAX intellisense when writing measures. Further increasing usability when creating shared datasets in the Power BI service!

PLEASE NOTE this is not (officially supported) by Microsoft. But is a relatively safe setting to modify. Just be aware Microsoft doesn't provide support for this. More info below at the tabular editor link
