Unable to use perspectives when measures have a dynamic format string?

Hi, 

 

Just wondering or looking for any confirmation/further information on the fact in a report when I have measures that use the new dynamic format string, then because of this I am unable to create perspectives of the data model in Tabular Editor for the same report?

I assume this is because of the dynamic format strings within the report, but this does reduce the functionality of the report as it seems as soon as you use dynamic format strings, you are then unable to use Tabular Editor at all on the report.

 

Thanks.

    Hi DW868990 

    Format Strings:

    Format strings in Power BI define how data values are displayed, such as formatting numbers, dates, or currency. Format strings can be static, meaning they are hardcoded, or they can be dynamic, meaning they are calculated based on the data. Dynamic format strings can be created using DAX expressions.

    If you are experiencing difficulties creating perspectives in Tabular Editor when using dynamic format strings, it could be due to limitations or conflicts between these two features. It's recommended to check the documentation of the specific version of Tabular Editor you are using. It's also possible that the issue could be related to other factors specific to your report or environment.

    I hope this answer your question.
    Thank you.
