Hello,
i would like to know if there is access to External tools and also to Calculation Groups funcionality in Power BI for Report Server?
Regards
Hi @Ricardo77 - the release for Report Server was supposed to be Sept, but they delayed it until October because they wanted the new Enhanced MetaData format in the product, which is what allows external tools.
MS blogged about it here. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/release-update-for-sept-2020-release-of-power-bi-report-ser...
So look for it in the next 6-8 weeks.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling

Can check the equivalent version for the report server. Previously the optimized for report server version used to be 2-3 months behind.
