Hello. Could you please confirm if I understand correctly that TMDL View has one drawback: It currently lacks the functionality to change column names in tables or measures? I'm looking for an article or video with confirmation from Microsoft, but I can't find it. Can you help with this?
I saw this link and this text displayed in the browser, but I can't understand the point. Can you explain it in more detail, please?
What about the names of the measures?
Hi @Oleg222 ,
Renaming fields such as columns or measures through TMDL scripts is not currently supported.
