Impactful IndividualRemove tables names from measures
Hi,
Is there a way to remove all the table names from the measures when the measures are used within other measures, in one shot? I have like 50 measures and I am looking for a way to remove the table names in one shot.
When the measure is used inside another measure, it's created the same way as column, Table Name [Measure Name]. This is becoming very irretating especially when moving measures between tables.
Thanks!
Hi Omega,
Not sure why you got the error, it should not be the case.
A measure has nothing to do with the table it resides in, which is why it can be referenced without the table name.
Try removing the table reference for the measure in the DAX, without moving the measure to a different table and see if it gives you an error.
Just to confirm, you are using the latest Aug 2021 update, right?
Thank you,

Hi Omega,
Not sure about that it will work in one go for every single measure reference in your measure, but have you tried creating a separate measure table and moving all the measures to that table?
This might remove the table name from the measures.
If I find anything else, I'll let you know.Thank you,

OmegaThat's my aim but the moment I did so, all my measures started giving me error because the measure moved to a new table.
