    RE: Measures in Power BI Service

    This function would be absolutely useful and basically the possibility to create measures in the Power BI service is already available. In the new Power BI Datamarts function, measures can be defined in the Power BI Service. This functionality would therefore have to be transferred to Power BI Reporting in the Power BI Service. Please vote for it.

    Is there any update on this idea? This is limiting the degree of freedom mostly when we publish a Report with Incremental Refresh as there is no way to download the report, modify and re-publish it again.

    RE: Measures in Power BI Service

    This is strictly limitative.
    If I publish a dataset in PowerBI Service, the users are not allowed to add calculated measures on it for their reports, even if they have the data available and they only want to use the existing data. For instance if I have measures as Fix Costs and a Variable Costs, the users are not able to do something as simples as [Total Costs] = [Fix Costs] + [Variable Costs].

    Thanks for your attention ;)

    This is a necessary feature in order to allow end users to create reports. Maybe a feature similar to Qlik, where users can use a measure formula (DAX) in a visualisation, without actually creating a named measure.

    It would be amazing to be able to deploy measures through M code in the Advanced Editor.

    If we could incorporate this ability in DataFlow, that would be awesome!

    If power BI wants to be chosen by "MacBook pro" compagnies, that would be a no miss.. The future is in the cloud..

    We are in 2018 and the standard in a lot of tool is to let business users in a governed self-service with of course the hability to add their own overlay of calculations or text manipulation

    Implementation of measures through DAX is really required in Power BI online. It prevents redeploying the report (which sometimes is not desired)
