Google Analytics BatchGet Report | Report Names

Question

What would be the best solution to give a report a name when make a report:batchGet?

var url = Google.Common.Configuration.Endpoints.ReportBatchGet;
var reportRequest = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_reportRequests);

try
{
    var tReports = await gc.PostAsyncTask(url,reportRequest);

    int cnt = 0;
    foreach (var report in tReports.reports)
    {
        if (report != null)
        {
            DataTable dt =  Google.Utils.ReportHandler.GoolgeBatchReportCreateDataTable(report,
                            _reportRequests.reportRequests.FirstOrDefault().viewId, **"REPORT_NAME"**);
                            Utils.ReportHandler.DataSetCellHandler(dt);

        }
    }

I have an array of reports which I convert into Json and make a post to get the data, the results are fine. I would like to give a name to the DataTable when convert the results in a DataTable but Google Analytics do not accept a report name or alias in the batchGet.

Any ideas?

There is no way of adding a report name to each report within in a batch request. to the Google Analytics Reporting API.

It is already an issue I have spotted and I have requested they add it to the API. The team accepted my request but there is no time frame on when they will add this feature.
