In c# scripting, is there a way to get to the Expression or FormatString for a dataset that is a Power BI dataset?

[dpesante]

For example when I examine the measure properties using "m.Output();" I see the following in the FormatString property:

EXTERNALMEASURE(
"_HMs With Active Assignments FormatString",
STRING,
"DirectQuery to AS - VEDA XRay - Template Skin - Datamodel"
)

Is there a way to take this string and run it so that it returns the actual FormatString of the measure in the Power BI Dataset?

Hi @dpesante
You want to evaluate the DAX expression making up the FormatStringExpression, from within a C# script?

var formatString = EvaluateDax(m.FormatStringExpression).ToString();
formatString.Output();
