query(query_str, effective_user=None)

Executes a query on model.

See Connection().query() for details on execution.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
query_str str

Query string to execute.

effective_user str

Pass through an effective user if desired. It will create and store a new Connection() class if need, which will help with speed if looping through multiple users in a row. Defaults to None.

Union[DataFrame, str, int]

Union[pd.DataFrame, str, int]: Depending on query, will return DataFrame or single value.

Example:

model.query("EVALUATE {1}")

analyze_bpa(tabular_editor_exe, best_practice_analyzer)

Takes your Tabular Model and performs TE2s BPA. Runs through Command line.

Nothing fancy hear. Really just a simple wrapper so you could call BPA in the same python script.

Parameters:

TE2 Exe File path. Feel free to use class TE2().EXE_Path or provide your own.

required
best_practice_analyzer str

BPA json file path. Feel free to use class BPA().Location or provide your own.

create_table(df, table_name)

Creates table from pd.DataFrame to a table in your model.

It will convert the dataframe to M-Partition logic via the M query table constructor. Then will run a refresh and update model. Has some obvious limitations right now, because the datframe values are hard coded into M-Partition, which means you could hit limits with the size of your table.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
df DataFrame

DataFrame to add to model.

required
table_name str

Name of the table.

required

Returns:

Name Type Description
bool bool

True if successful
