Calculation group VS2017 & TabularEditor

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I start with SSAS and Calculation Group. I encounter a lot of problem and here is my approach. For this I posted differents videos. 

Lets me knows your comments, Please !
1) First, I connected VS2017 to my AdventureWorks Source but when i try to create a calculation group ... VS failed -> Here the error : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5-S2Np8aBk.

2) With another approach, I load my model "MytestTabularModel" (deploy before with VS2017) with Tabular Editor. No problem to create a Calculation Groups, however differents errors appear when i refresh this deployed model ("myTestTabularEditor "):

") In the third step, I load "myTestTabularEditor" with VS2017 to refresh data and I deploy the model (Do you have an other solutions to load Data in this model ?) -> VS  seems to be OK to support the calculation groups but alwaiys impossible to create a calculation group : https://www.youtube.com/ watch? v = TvAvOo1UCXI.

4) The last step is to test my PowerBi Desktop, just to consume Calculation group -> Import mode does not work (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0fRTNWQ7k) ... There is only Direct Query mode, Why only Direct Query work ?

For my part, this Direct Query mode is complicated just to test new Calculation Group because there is no accessibles formats.

Can you give me the exact procedure to finally inject the calculation groups in PowerBI Desktop in Import Mode.

Do you make a special link in my Tabular model between Tables and Calculation Table which contain Group ?

Thanks for your helps

Note that i use :

SQL server 15.0.4033.1

Analysis service 15.0.34.14

Tabular Editor 2.9.7

Only Power BI Desktop.

I also tested with Azure as the Pluralsight course (https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/building-tabular-models-ssas/table-of-contents?aid=7010a...) but some steps should be missed because I have the same or almost the same problems with Azure...

Hello, managed to solve the problem mentioned in the item, where you have the error: "failed to save changes to the server. Error returned: 'Table' Calculationgroup 1 'contains column' CalculationItemColumn 1 'with invalid data type or source column. this column's data type must be string and source column must be 'Name'

Hi,

How did you do it? Thanks.

1) This is a bug in AS for Visual Studio. Make sure you download the latest version: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftAnalysisServicesModelingProj... if the issue persists, contact ProBIToolsFeedback@microsoft.com

2) This is a bug in SSMS. Make sure you download the latest version: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server... If the issue persists, try to perform the refresh using a TMSL/XMLA script instead.

3) I would always use SSMS for refreshing - it should work once you download the latest version.

4) You can't use calc groups when loading data from Analysis Services in Import/DirectQuery mode. Instead, you have to create a Live Connection to Analysis Services - this is only possible when there are no other data sources in your PBIX file. So create a new PBIX and connect it to Analysis Services as the very first thing you do - then you should be able to consume the calc groups.
