Tabular Model - unpivot equivilant (to slice report by multiple attributes)

Hi - currently I have a report connected to our datawarehouse using import method. I bring in the data the use Power Querey to manipulate the data to unpivot the table, so that the user can select from a list of multiple attributes in a report via a slicer.

We are moving to a SSAS Tabular datamodel, so I will no longer be able to perform this process. Is there a way of achiving the same outcome in the SSAS Tabular data model itself?

  • The combination of "Personalize Visuals"  and Field Parameters should have you covered for that.

  • Following, I am aslo looking for the same feature in Tabular model, but seems like it is not an option so far. 

    If your data source is SSMS, you can create a view using Unpivot function in the database use that as a table in SSAS.

    In my senario, the tables are grown in horizontally and it is difficult to update the view frequently. So, I am looking forward if Microsoft could add this option in Tabular model.

    Let me know if you found an alternate for this option.
