Thank you for this thoughtful response.  I'm more of a lay user of Power BI and understand some basic technical explanations.  Can you simplify an answer for me?  We connect to a tabular model and I'm noticing that we cannot use some of the new features, such as the new Quick Calc functions (i.e. % of row, % of column).  Is this because we are connected to a tabular model?
