Which BI tools' AI names the fields it used?
5 of 15 tools do, according to their public docs, and 4 partly.
Yes: Databricks, Omni, Looker, Tableau, Power BI. Partly: Hex, Sigma, BigQuery, Metabase.
The question we asked: Does the answer say which specific tables, columns or metrics it was built from?
Grading standard
Named tables, columns or metrics attached to the answer, such as a field list or a citation shown with it. The text of a generated query is credited to the analytical-steps row, not this one, even though it names tables. Naming only the dataset does not count.
