Semantic Layer! Major features missing: dynamic parameters, enforced parameters upon field selection, dynamic SQL generation (using params)
All in the title. A semantic layer such as SAP Business Objects universes is the BASIS for self-service BI. Exists for over 30 years now, and MS does not even have dynamically populated prompts. Frus...
It seems like at this point many of the mentioned issues are addressed in one way or another. E.g. what-if parameters, calculation groups, shared datasets, upcoming composite models across datasets... In terms of the semantic layer, what does seem to be missing still is a good way of decoupling the data model physical structure used in DAX vs the names shown to the user. Especially to enable renaming the tables and measures for 'live connected' reports without breaking the visuals. Translations functionality (Premium only) is hardly enough for this.
