Dax Data Type

Hey all I have a problem with Dax Studios. Whenever i want to extract measures for a particular dashboard - it shows the data type as a numeric value instead of an integer or string etc. See the screenshot below with sample data. Is there a way to make it display the data type correctly?  Thank you

@MasterDax446 Do you mean that you want to see the Text Values that refer to the keys "DATA_TYPE" rather than the Integer value?

I've been trying to find this out but not yet been successful

Hi @MasterDax446 ,

 

I'm not sure if i understand you correctly, but you may select single column and convert it to the right format instead of using select *.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

@MasterDax446 , if you have opened a power bi model. Check what is that in power bi model. Change it there and then check in Dax studio

Hi - Can you explain what you mean? I've tried it on multiple Power BI Models and the data types all show numbers
