Direct Query and Time Intelligence functions

Hi Tamir, 

The time intelligence takes a toll when connecting to direct query. 

If you are expecting the date hierarchy in specific , you would have to create it for yourself by making columns [year], [quarter],[month],[date] and then use them to create a hierarchy.

You can get the modelling and reporting limitaions for direct query connection in

Hi Tamir,

Yes, in direct query mode, time intelligence function are not available, please refer to the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/analysis-services/tabular-models/dax-formula-compatibility-in-directquery-mode-ssas-2016?view=sql-server-2017. The alternative ways depend on your specific senario, so if you want to achieve some result using time intelligence, please share sample data and expected result.

Hey Tamir,

basically the build-in Time Intelligence functions are syntax sugar for a combination of other DAX functions.

Here you will find a lot of examples how to rewrite these build-in functions:
