Renaming columns after quering Power BI with measure

Posted on by 123CaM321

Hello
I have the following DAX to query a dataset in Power BI. Works great, but would like to rename the columns. Problem lies in knowing how to refer to any column that is a measure. For example the TotalActualWork column? I would usually use a select action and MAP the column, but unsure on syntax for measures

// DAX Query

DEFINE
	VAR __DS0Core = 
		SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
			'SIGGA Summarized'[Employee(s)],
			"SumTotalActualWork", CALCULATE(SUM('SIGGA Summarized'[TotalActualWork])),
			"SumTotalActualWork_CurrentMonth", CALCULATE(SUM('SIGGA Summarized'[TotalActualWork_CurrentMonth])),
			"SumTotalActualWork_LastMonth", CALCULATE(SUM('SIGGA Summarized'[TotalActualWork_LastMonth]))
		)

	VAR __DS0PrimaryWindowed = 
		TOPN(501, __DS0Core, 'SIGGA Summarized'[Employee(s)], 1)

EVALUATE
	__DS0PrimaryWindowed

ORDER BY
	'SIGGA Summarized'[Employee(s)]

Thanks!

Hi @123CaM321 ,

This is Power Automate community, while it seems a Power Bi question. Please post the question in Power Bi community instead:

Microsoft Power BI Community - Microsoft Fabric Community

Thanks. At what point does it become a question relating to Power Automate? Just so I know in the future. The above DAX is inside Power Automate. I use a 'Query a dataset' action inside Power Automate and was asking how to map the columns using a select action in Power Automate, that is then passed to a 'create HTML table' action.

Hi @123CaM321 ,

Since DAX query is the code language used in Power Bi, I considered it as a Power BI question. If you encounter issues about creating/editing flows in Power Automate, i.e., how to use actions, how to apply your logic in a flow or how to write expressions, it becomes a Power Automate question.

Best regards,

Hi 123CaM321
I have exactly this problem myself and would definitely consider this Power Automate question i.e. how do you use the select action to change the name of a calculated column output from the query a dataset from power bi action. Did you get a solution to this??

Hi Spence. I remember this took me a while. Thias has to be a Power Automate question! Hope this helps. Using my example it would look like this
These are the expressions

@item()?['SIGGA Summarized[Employee(s)]']
@item()?['[SumTotalActualWork_LastMonth]']
@item()?['[SumTotalActualWork_CurrentMonth]']
@item()?['[SumTotalActualWork_LastWeek]']

Good luck
