Refresh only measures in Power BI

Measures are always evaluated on the fly; that's to say, whenever any elements on the report view change (filter/row/column/viz etc), measures are re-evaluated at once. It's an inherent mechanism of PBI.

I know how measures are evaluated, the question is whether I can avoid refreshing the data in Power BI Desktop when I refresh/reload the measures from SSAS, after updating them with Tabular Editor. When I click Home -> Refresh, I want NOT to refresh the data, only the measures.

I have two ideas:

1. to reduce the dataset only for development purposes to 10% of the original dataset - this will reduce the update time accordingly.

2. to disable a heavy dataset update in powerquery, again, only for development time.

Not sure it can be called a "best practice", but it helps.
