Solved: Using shared datasets as a source

Anonymous · ‎07-23-2020

That's a quick question can measures and calculated columns be created when using shared dataset as a source?

Hi @Anonymous ,

as far as I know, you can create measures on Live Connections, but no calculated columns.

The measures are saved as part of the report.

Did I answer your question?

@Anonymous - Not currently to the best of my knowledge. I am assuming here that you are referring to a "live" Power BI dataset connection.

Thanks Greg!

I've tried it myself and it does allow me to create measures but I was wondering if that's because I was the dataset author 🤔
