REST API PushDataSet Date Table Measures

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am working thru using PushDatasets for an Embedded solution. It looks promising. 

However, I am really struggling with Measures, and in particular building a Date table.

This is the guts of the problematic code, resulting in an "InternalServerError" after a lengthy time. I have tried all sorts of variants, some resulting in BadRequest, and others in the InternalServer error. I dont seem to be able to find any concrete examples

Code:

// Columns...
var datecolList = new List<Column>();
datecolList.Add(new Column("Date", "datetime"));
datecolList.Add(new Column("Year", "string"));
datecolList.Add(new Column("Quarter", "string"));
datecolList.Add(new Column("Month", "string"));

// Date measure...
var dateMeasureList = new List<Measure>();
Measure meas1 = new Measure();
meas1.Name = "Date";
meas1.Expression = "Date = CALENDARAUTO()";
dateMeasureList.Add(meas1);

// OK - This expression is breaking the dataset creation. Commented out....
Measure meas2 = new Measure();
meas2.Name = "Year";
meas2.Expression = @"Year = ""CY"" & FORMAT([Date], ""yyyy"")";

dateMeasureList.Add(meas2);

tableDate = new Table("Date", datecolList, null, dateMeasureList);

The exception occurs in the 

dataset = client.Datasets.PostDatasetInGroup(workspaceId, datasetReq, DefaultRetentionPolicy.BasicFIFO);

I have a number of other tables that Schema define and load data just fine. Its just this Date table with the measures that blowup with less than helpful exceptions.

Does any one have a sample ? or suggestions ?
