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)?

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsHi, 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
Data types supported in Analysis Services tabular models | Microsoft Learn
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
