Remove legacy aliases from functions for clarity

NowinskiK · NowinskiK · commit 74577eb3282a · 2026-03-31T05:57:39.000Z
This change eliminates outdated aliases from various functions to streamline the codebase and enhance maintainability. By removing references to old PowerBI-focused aliases, we ensure that the functions are more consistent and easier to understand.
