Adding Calculated Column in Shared Dataset
Hi, I'm using a common dataset published in Power BI Service and want to create multiple reports based on it. So far I didn't find any way to add a calculated column or anything similar in my rep...
hi Anonymous
You need to ask the own of the the dataset to add a column or measure in original dataset in power bi desktop. you use a shared dataset to create a report, that means you are using a live connection, you could only create a report level measure.

Hi,
Greg_Deckler, v-lili6-msft thank you for your answers this is clear to me now, it makes sense shared dataset forces use of live connection. Is there any workaround to that? Any possibility to create report level copy of the model and then add the calculated columns?

No workaround for now, you could only create a measure in your side, if you want to create a column in the dataset, you need to add it in original dataset,
