Is "Nameof" function supported in Visual studios Tabular project ?

Hello Community,

 

I am trying to set up field parameters following this guide :"https://p3adaptive.com/2022/05/completing-the-set-up-field-parameters-using-tabular-editor/" inside Visual Studios 2019 tabular Project. The issue that I am facing is when I try to create the Calculatated table using the "Nameof" function for example ={("Item",Nameof('Dim_Item',[Item]),0)}. It doesn't specify the the error more than that it underlines "Nameof" with red. Isn't "Nameof" supported in Visual Studios 2019 ?

 

Best regards,

Rubrix

And the NameOf operator is available in Visual Basic 14 and later.Visual Studio 2019 the latest version  is Visual Basic 16.9 .
