Hi v-lid-msft 

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

I think I didnt express myself properly,  what I like to know if its better in terms of performance create a tabular model through SSAS and conect it to Power BI, using it mostly for visualization or create all the semantic layout in PowerBI, model, relationships, roles, measures, calc.cloumns etc, conect it to the DWH straight away without SSAS.

 

So is there anything in SSAS-Tabular mode that I can not perform with PowerBI-PowerQuery apart from what I said before?

 

Thank you in advance.!
