Hi,
I've created several perspectives using SQL Server Analysis Services but I haven't been able to understand googling how they would work on Power BI. As far as I've seen, on Power BI Desktop I can choose the perspective I want to work with and I could change the perspective for a different "page" for the same "report" (pbix file). On the other hand, what is the supposed behavior when publishing to the Power BI service? I have read several "learning articles" (such as this one https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/analysis-services/tutorial-tabular-1400/as-lesson-8-create-perspec...) that only refers to Power BI Premium, are perspective not working with Power BI Pro?
Thanks in advance,
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @maserraru,
Did you mean the XMLA endpoint feature to manage and connection to underlying report data model?
If that is the case, current it require premium license or pro license with contents hosted in the premium capacity.
Io summarize, perspectives are supported in Power BI Service, but you can't directly change perspectives in the service when you work on Pro licenses.
Power BI Premium provides enhanced capabilities, including live connections to SSAS models with perspectives.
