How to Handle Backslash Issues in Table Column Expressions

Issue

When saving expressions in BoldBI, you may encounter an error if your table has a column with a backslash in its name (e.g., ARM\RBMName).

Solution

To resolve this issue, you can either escape the backslash by adding another slash (e.g., ARM\\RBMName) or remove the backslash altogether by renaming that particular columnn.

Steps to Rename the Column

1. Click on the column settings in your table.
2. Rename the column by either escaping the backslash (e.g., ARM\\RBMName) or removing it (e.g., ARMRBMName).
3. Save the changes.

After renaming the column, the expression should work without any errors.
