Property Value
DataSource
The Data Source used by this partition.

Property Value
DataView
Determines which partitions should be selected to run queries against the model. The possible values are as follows. Full (0) - Partitions with DataView set to Default or Full are selected.

SemanticError (5): The partition is in an error state because of an invalid expression and is not queryable. This state applies only to partitions of the type Calculated. EvaluationError (6): The partition is in an error state because of an error during expression evaluation. The partition is not queryable. This state applies only to partitions of the type Calculated. DependencyError (7): The partition is in an error state because some of its calculation dependencies are in an error state. The partition is not queryable. This state applies only to partitions of the type Calculated. Incomplete (8): Some parts of the partition have no data, and the partition needs to be refreshed to bring the data in. The partition is queryable. This state applies only to partitions of a type other than Calculated. SyntaxError (9): The partition is in an error state because of a syntax error in its expression.
