Hi akj2784,

 

Azue AS is similar with SSAS, you can use SSDT to create data model then deploy to Azure AS and you can also create a data model in Azure portal. 

For more details about how to mange data model in Azure AS, please refer to:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-create-server

For more details about connect to Azure AS in power bi, please refer to:

If I continue the development in SSDT, we may not be able to leverage the latest Power BI Dekstop feature which comes every month. e.g. I want to use R as source in my data model but SSDT does not support that.

Is there any way we can do our developement in Power BI Desktop itself ?

    And if I want to create  a new model using web designer, can I take the data from ORacle db. ?

     

    And if I develop the model on web designer , PBI desktop would not be required to create model ?

    Any further enhancement to model has to be done at web designer ?
