Description

Hi,

I have a measure defined as
MyMeasure = [Measure1] /* this used to be [NonExistingMeasure] */

ALM Toolkit compains, that MyMeasure contains a dependency to [NonExistingMeasure] which cannot be found.

I think you are somehow also parsing values from within comments to build the dependency tree which should not be the case I would say

regards,
-gerhard

Research direction

Start by locating the dependency-analysis parser used for DAX measure expressions and reproduce the reported expression with a reference inside a block comment. Done means references found only inside comments are excluded from the dependency tree, so [NonExistingMeasure] is no longer reported.
