can I use new measure on power bi web part?

can I use new measure on power bi web part?
Hi:
Does anyone know how I can multiply two aggregate together on power bi online?
The reason I don't use Desktop is that I would like to update my data in real time.
I send data to dataset by using power bi rest api. Then the value on dashboard
could be updated synchronously. Now I would like to sum up two column, 
calculate percentage, and create line chart. Can I do this on power bi online?
 
Thank you

The service is for sharing reports. The Desktop is for building them. You can't create measures online.

Hi KHorseman:

Thank you for the answer.

If I would like to update my data in real time on power bi. Could l use power bi Desktop?

My situation is that I have an Azure table and I would like to

create a percentage line chart from two column on power bi.  

Whenever my table is updated, the line chart can be updated too. 

Is there any way to do this?

Have you looked into Direct Query?

Sorry, I haven't. 

Does it support for Azure Table?

Based on this website, it does not support for table storage.

Azure Table? I don't know about that. I thought you meant a table in an Azure SQL database.

I really appreciate your reply. 

Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL table in Azure service. 

But I think power bi may not support connecting Azrue Table on web part.

Desktop does support connecting to Azure Table. I don't know about Direct Query because I don't have an Azure Table to test it with. But you do.
