Issue with the new composite model for Direct Query when connecting to a dataset

The issue I`m having is that when connecting to a dataset (not in the my workspaces workspace) I don't see the option to modify the model. This particular dataset has a SSAS as datasource. Could that cause the issue? When trying this with another dataset it works fine.

    Thanks Anonymous I guess that also means that datasets based on these won't work with directquery?

      I don't know the answer to that, but I would hesitate to jump directly to that assumption.  

       

      Test it and see - I thought that once a dataset is published to the service it is essentially an Azure Analysis Services dataset, so perhaps it would still work?

    Hi, aukev 

     

    The feature is now supported by Azure Azure Analysis Services instead of SSAS. SSAS as a Direct Query will be available in the future. As this feature is currently in preview, here are some things you can try to explore this feature for yourself:

    • Connecting to data from various sources: Import (such as files), Power BI datasets, Azure Analysis Services
    • Creating relationships between different data sources
    • Writing measures that use fields from different data sources
    • Creating new columns for tables from Power BI datasets of Azure Analysis Services
    • Creating visuals that use columns from different data sources

     

    You may give your feedback here to improve Power BI.

     

    Best Regards

    Allan
