PowerBI connected to SAAS Tabular model missing features

Hi all,

 

I have created a SAAS Tabular model and connected to Power BI. However, it seems that PowerBI is missing a lot o features.

 

The most important features i need to somehow restore are: create calulated columns, grouping values and date fields to appear as date hierarhy (i tryed to mark those fileds as date format in Tabular, and also tried to make a hierarhy, but not of these worked as date hierarhy).

 

Is it possible to fix at least some of them?

 

I am not sure if it matters at all, but i use the RS version

 

Many thanks in advance!

@nikos_derv , When connecting live with SSAS, you can only create measures.

You have all the features in import mode
