first feedback so far.

1- it will be nice to have description from the source model supported thinking of using it as a way to document the measure formula, so downstream users can see the formula used in a measure.

2-is it possible to deleted tables and measures, in some cases, all I want is getting data using directQuery from 1 Table.

3- if 2 is not possible, can we have a folder to group all the tables and measures from 1 model, otherwise it may become very hard to navigate big models.

 

very great works

    Hi Mim, for 1: we have for now decided not too, since there might be intellectual property in the model or other reasons not to expose the definition. Regarding 2: not sure what you mean here.
