You are responsible for ensuring that any scripts you execute does not contain malicious code, or does not cause unwanted changes to your tabular models.

How to contribute

Fork the repo, add your scripts and submit a pull request - it's that simple!

Scripts should use the .csx file extension. If you plan to submit a collection of multiple scripts, feel free to put them into a subfolder and provide a README.md file with additional documentation.

Please ensure that your script is thoroughly documented with a comment section at the top of the file. Feel free to use the following snippet as a template:

/*
 * Title: Auto-generate SUM measures from columns
 * 
 * Author: Daniel Otykier, twitter.com/DOtykier
 * 
 * This script, when executed, will loop through the currently selected columns,
 * creating one SUM measure for each column and also hiding the column itself.
 */
 
// Loop through all currently selected columns:
foreach(var c in Selected.Columns)
{
    var newMeasure = c.Table.AddMeasure(
        "Sum of " + c.Name,                    // Name
        "SUM(" + c.DaxObjectFullName + ")",    // DAX expression
        c.DisplayFolder                        // Display Folder
    );
    
    // Set the format string on the new measure:
    newMeasure.FormatString = "0.00";

    // Provide some documentation:
    newMeasure.Description = "This measure is the sum of column " + c.DaxObjectFullName;

    // Hide the base column:
    c.IsHidden = true;
