Phil Seamark goes one step further with TOM:
My last blog introduced the idea of using Microsoft Visual Studio Code to work with Power BI Models. For this article, I build on that idea by showing how you can use a TOM based script to automatically generate measures in your model Power BI (or Azure Analysis Services) model.
For simplicity, the example in this blog will do the following:
– Connect to an instance of Power BI Desktop
– Iterate through every Table in the model
– Iterate through every Column in the “current” table from the outer loop
– If the Column is numeric and not hidden, create a simple [Sum of <column>] measure
Read on for demonstration code and a walkthrough of the process.
