Deleting elements from Business Intelligence export models

You can delete columns or entire tables from Business Intelligence export models - from the raw *.model files. Under no circumstances should you edit compiled files directly.

Elements must be deleted completely or not at all.

For individual columns, this means that everything between and including the opening tag < and the closing tag > must be deleted.

For tables, this means that everything from the table open tag <Table XXX> to the table close tag </Table> and everything in between must be deleted.

If you make a mistake when deleting information from a Business Intelligence export model, the compiler will throw an error when you try to compile it.
