Calculated columns without explicit type
"Calculated columns without explicit type" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. Calculated columns have no explicit data type, so the engine infers one from the expression. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Set the data type and format string of every calculated column explicitly.
What is detected
Calculated columns have no explicit data type, so the engine infers one from the expression. A change in the expression can silently turn a number into text and break every visual that uses it.
Why it matters
Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.
How to fix it
Set the data type and format string of every calculated column explicitly.
