Noob Question About TOM

Hello Folks,

 

First, I hope I'm posting in the correct place, if not I'm sorry.

 

I want to access a published PBI dataset in C# using TOM, but I can't seem to find out how you'd query it.
I mean, do you write the query in SQL, Linq, DAX or somthing else?

 

I don't want to do anything too exciting to begin with, just get the items and quantities sold to a given customer in a given date range.

 

Thanks in advance for any help,

 

Beefheart.

For that you would use a DAX query.  However, that's not what TOM is about. TOM gives you access to the metadata. For DAX queries you connect to the SSAS instance (XMLA endpoint)

Hi lbendlin,

 

Thank you for the information! To clarify would this be the Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.NetCore.retail.amd64  nuget package?

 

Thank you again for your time,
