Creating Hierarchies in Power BI Desktop Data Model
Is there a plan to add the ability to create hierarchies in the Power BI Desktop data model like there is in the Excel Power Pivot data model, and then make those available to be used in reports?
- Yes there is :) We're working on this now and we'll have it available in a future release. No firm timelines, but hopefully in the next couple of months.
Consumed from SSAS?
I believe we have not the same level of expectations. Created hiearchies from Tabular Model are exploded as separate fields.
Useless.
Agree with Miclael.
We have graet demand of custom Hierarchy with simplyness and effciency! it's a MUST HAVE feature!!! VERY DISPOINTED
At least should have the same as in powerPivot.
- To everybody on this list, the PowerBI team only released the hierarchy feature from a design point of view to aide with development. It is not intended to work for filtering as yet. This is the next step for the PowerBI team as it is currently under review.
The PowerBI team is very agile and they tend to get ahead of themselves and release an unfinished feature in segments in order to please the community. However this does have drawbacks when the community expect the feature to be the solution to everything. I have been caught out myself thinking a feature is complete when it is only a part rollout.
I guess we can either wait 3 months for a partial solutin that will satisfy some people, or wait 6 months for a full solution with nothing in the interim.
I haven't seen a BI company this agile in development and listening to the community. Yes, they might have a rollout strategy that annoy us, but they are listening.
