POWER BI Service Refresh issue - Refresh is not supported for datasets with a calculated table

Hi All,

 

I have a build dashboard which connects to a Power BI Dataset.

In Power BI desktop the dashboard refreshes whichout any issue however once the dashboard is published I get the following error:

 

Refresh is not supported for datasets with a calculated table or calculated column that depends on a table which references Analysis Services using DirectQuery

 

I have seen that this may be a bug, can anyone offer up a solution? Not sure how to resolve the issue when it's not a problem in PBI desktop.

      "...table or calculated column, they are not supported in this mode"
      From the same link you sent, one can read that:
      Calculated tables are not supported in DirectQuery models, but calculated columns are.

      I am having the same issue described in this topic, using only calculated columns from a table in DQ.

        Does this mean that any composite model that has a calculated local Date table will not work?

    It would be better if calculated tables WERE supported in this mode.

  • to resolve this problem is easy, you just need import the table on power query using analysis server component and put the correct server:


    to find the correct server you can see on the schedule refresh page on power bi service, like this:

    and after put the result on power query (dont forget put IMPORT)

    in this example i selected a virtual table named "lojas tumelero"(but you can put any kind of table), and with this you can do what you need, and error doesn't happen anymore

    Hi obriaincian ,

     

    Unfortunately it isn't supported with PBI dataset. It happened to me and the only way to have the report updated is to remove the calculated tables.
