Link DAX OpenQuery Output to SQL Server Temp Table

I want to record measures from a Tabular model, as KPIs, and store the values in a table in SQL Server. I have created a linked server from my SQL Server instance to my SSAS instance. I have written a stored procedure to execute the DAX code via OPENQUERY, with the intention of storing these in a temp table, before loading them in to the KPI table. I am using a temp table because I am querying multiple tabular models. My problem occurs when I try to update my temp table with values from my OPENQUERY output. My OPENQUERY output is currently within a CTE, and I was hoping to do a simple join to the temp table, but because the output from the DAX query returns each column name within [ ], when I try to join on one of the OPENQUERY columns I receive the error "Invalid column name...". E.g. UPDATE temp SET temp.[Current Contract Count] = cte.[Contract Count] FROM #ServiceZoneKPIs AS temp INNER JOIN tabular_cte AS cte ON cte.[Copy of Service Zone Code] = temp.[ServiceZoneAlternateKey] The error occurs because 'Copy of Service zone' does not exist in the OPENQEURY output; the output column name is [Copy of Service Zone]. I may well be missing a simple trick here? How can I join an OPENQUERY output, returning tabular model data, to my T-SQL temp table?
