Complex measure without a comment or description
"Complex measure without a comment or description" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n measure(s) are longer than 300 characters, use several variables, and carry neither a comment nor a description. It is a hygiene note: provable, worth fixing, but it never moves the health score. Add one sentence of description saying what the measure computes and at which grain; keep comments for the parts that are surprising.
What is detected
n measure(s) are longer than 300 characters, use several variables, and carry neither a comment nor a description. The next reader has to re-derive the intent from the code.
Why it matters
Hygiene and conventions. Reported in its own section and never deducted from the health score.
How to fix it
Add one sentence of description saying what the measure computes and at which grain; keep comments for the parts that are surprising.
