tabular editor Loop through Calculated Columns

Hi

im writing a C# script in Tabular Editor to loop through the model and change the naming convention of measures and calculated columns (inherited several reports from business and its a bit messy) the Measure part works perfectly - code adds "Msr" abbreviation to each measure and moves it to Calculations. The problem appears with calculated columns - seems like the check of columnType.Calculated doesnt work. Does anyone know how to check the columntype properly?

Thank you:)

 

 

var calcTable = Model.Tables.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Name == "Calculations");

Func<string, string, string> FormatName = (name, prefix) => {
    string formattedName = name.Replace(" ", "_");
    if (!formattedName.StartsWith(prefix)) {
        formattedName = prefix + formattedName;
    }
    return formattedName;
};

foreach (var table in Model.Tables) {
    foreach (var measure in table.Measures.ToList()) {
        measure.Name = FormatName(measure.Name, "Msr");
        measure.MoveTo(calcTable);
    }
foreach (var column in table.Columns.ToList()) {
     if (column.ColumnType== ColumnType.Calculated) {
          if (!column.Name.StartsWith("CC")) {
              column.Name = FormatName(column.Name, "CC");
            }
        }
    }
}

The documentation seems to indicate that the type exists.

What does "doesn't work"  mean?
