Lexing DAX with PyDAX

Sandeep Pawar reviews a DAX lexer:

The power of open-source and GenAI. Klaus Jürgen Folz recently open-sourced the PyDAX library, which parses DAX expressions to extract or remove comments, and identify referenced columns and measures. I used that library to create some demos for myself and then shared the notebook along with instructions with Replit agents to build an app for me.. 15 minutes & 3 prompts later I had a fully functional app. Give it a try : https://daxparser.replit.app/

Read on to learn more, including why I referred to PyDAX as a “lexer” and a few more notes of relevance.
