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.
