DAX query
Returns a table with information about each attribute hierarchy in the semantic model. This function provides metadata about the attribute hierarchies defined in the model.
Syntax
INFO.ATTRIBUTEHIERARCHIES ( [<Restriction name>, <Restriction value>], ... )
Parameters
Parameters are optional for this DAX function. When parameters are used, both must be given. More than one pair of parameters is allowed. The restriction name and value are text and entered in double-quotes.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Restriction name | Name of the restriction used to filter the results. |
| Restriction value | Value used to filter the results of the restriction. |
Restrictions
Typically, all columns of the DAX function results can be used as a restriction. Additional restrictions may also be allowed.
Return value
A table whose columns match the schema rowset for attribute hierarchies in the current semantic model:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| [ID] | A reference to the object. IDs are usually autogenerated and should not be changed after the model is created. Data type is unsigned long (4 bytes). |
| [ColumnID] | An ID-based reference to a Column object. |
| [State] | A value that provides information about the state of the AttributeHierarchy object. The possible values and their interpretation are as follows: Ready (1) – The Attribute Hierarchy is queryable and has up-to-date data. CalculationNeeded (4) – The Attribute Hierarchy does not contain any data because it was not refreshed. There is no error associated with the attribute hierarchy. DependencyError (7) – The column that is associated with this Attribute Hierarchy is in an error state (SemanticError, EvaluationError, or DependencyError). |
| [AttributeHierarchyStorageID] | An ID-based reference to an AttributeHierarchyStorage object, which can be enumerated with INFO.ATTRIBUTEHIERARCHYSTORAGES |
| [ModifiedTime] | The time that the object was last modified. |
| [RefreshedTime] | The time that the object was last refreshed. |
Remarks
- Typically used in DAX queries to inspect and document model metadata.
- Permissions required depend on the host. Querying full metadata may require model admin permissions.
Example DAX query
The following DAX query can be run in DAX query view:
EVALUATE
INFO.ATTRIBUTEHIERARCHIES()
This DAX query returns a table with all of the columns of this DAX function.
