Computed columns in Views - Dynamics AX

Hi Folks, 

I came across a useful blog on Computed columns in Views - Dynamics AX, however, its written for AX 2012 but fits pretty well with Dynamics 365FO as well. 

Have a look.

QuickFix : Error on Data entity

Error message: 

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Error Infolog diagnostic message: 'Datasource name <EntityName>not found in the view <EntityName>.' on category 'Error'. 0

Possible cause: Check if you are using any calculated field and that method for the field is calling the wrong entity. Also, check if it points to the wrong data entity method. 

Below is the syntax

 dataEntityName      = tablestr(<EntityName>);

        Filed1 = str2Int64(SysComputedColumn::returnField(DataEntityName, identifierStr(<Datasource name>), fieldstr(<Datasource name>, CustTransRecId)));
