Table information with DAX

Hi all,

 

I would like to use the column names of other tables. For example:

 

Table1

Field1, Field2

value1, value2

 

I want to get the values Field1 and Field2.

 

Do you know how to do that?

 

Thank you

Not sure you can do that with DAX, but you can access the column names with Table.ColumnNames in the query editor.  You can then access them with a position reference like  Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"){1} to get the name of the second column (counting starts at 0).

Regards,

Pat
