When a report is connected to a remote semantic model, Power BI Desktop allows users to create calculated tables and calculated columns based on that remote model.
The issue is that this architecture appears to work correctly in Desktop but may generate refresh failures after publication to Power BI Service.
This behavior is confusing because the limitation is only discovered after deployment.
Suggested improvements:
- Fully support refresh of calculated tables and columns referencing remote semantic models.
- Or block this scenario directly in Power BI Desktop.
- Or provide a clear validation message before publication explaining the risk and offering remediation guidance.
This limitation creates unnecessary complexity and maintenance effort.
