Measure datatypes mapping using Dax studio

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to export the measures and their datatypes from  my Power BI and I used the DAX Studio. The data types are coming in numbers like 5, 20, 12,... Is there a mapping table to find out which one is which(String, numbers, etc)?

Hi, I can see the datatypes but they are in numbers. I need to map them to words, like Text, Decimal number and ... How Can I get that?

Not sure why you would need that but here's the reference - you can do your own mapping

Hi Ibendlin,

The reference you sent me does not have any mention of the codes which I see in the DAX studio. Am I missing something?

Connect to your dataset in DAX Studio. Run 

select * from $SYSTEM.TMSCHEMA_COLUMNS

and then infer your mapping.

Here is the issue:

How can I find out what is 2, 6, or 9? It is not present in the link you provided.

2 = Text

6 = SmallINT

19 = BigINT

Yes. This is what I require, the whole list of all the datatypes and related codes. Where do you find them? Our BI solution is huge and all kind data types are used, thats why I need the whole reference of this
