This is not a solution. It does not solve the problem.

Enabling below option did not work. Below is our DAX query - 

MTD_Avg_Balance_Debt = TOTALMTD([Sumprin Debt],v_get_TransDate[TransDate])/(DATEDIFF(STARTOFMONTH(v_get_TransDate[TransDate]),max(v_get_TransDate[TransDate]),DAY)+1)

Works on desktop version, howver doesnt work once published to sever

Hi all, this issue is not solved as of May 25, 2018.  We are using Power BI Report Server and the matching version of Power BI Desktop dated March 2018.

When we deploy a DirectQuery mode report containing measures like this, with "Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode" duly enabled

LatestCumulativeVarToTarget = 
CALCULATE (
    VALUES ( 'NonAffiliatedOutletSales'[CumulativeVarToTarget] ),
    FILTER (
        'NonAffiliatedOutletSales',
        'NonAffiliatedOutletSales'[CalculateDate]
            = MAX ( 'NonAffiliatedOutletSales'[CalculateDate] )
    )
)

and "Save As" to Power BI Report Server, when the report is rendered visuals that use such measures display with the circled X and text "Can't display the visual.  See details."  The details message is:

Couldn't load the data for this visual

MdxScript(Model) (44, 5) Function 'FILTER' is not supported in this context in DirectQuery mode.

Not solved.

Is this the expected behavior?

I also have the same problem when I used directquery mode. On the other hand, in import mode, this measure is working.

LatestTurbidity = CALCULATE(MAXA(MsgJamhamTest1[Value]), FILTER(MsgJamhamTest1,[Type]="Turbidity"&&[UpdateTime]=MAX([UpdateTime])))

I have a similar issue, i.e. you can get away with unrestricted measures in PBI Desktop only for it to fail on the Reporting Server. Did you find a viable workaround? Can "unrestricted measures" bet set for the Reporting Server as well, and if so how? Any information would be greately appreciated.
