NEVER calculate DAX until TICK is clicked
This is driving me crazy. If you accidently click ENTER while writing DAX code in the formula bar in Power BI, or if you click away from the bar (e.g. to quickly check the name of another field), PowerBI starts running the unfinished code. This is NOT what you want.
