Composite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)

[sander_allert1]

We really love the new feature of 'Composite Models' in the Power BI July 2018 update! This enables us to join custom lists with DirectQuery sources. It would also be beneficial if this would also work when connected to SSAS Tabular in DirectQuery. This would stronlgy improve the enterprise features of Power BI.

This is a pretty typical use case - it would be very helpful to have this feature.

Please update, would be magnificent!

This would be a great update!

Yet another reason I prefer to create reports in Excel and simply publish them. IMHO, there are *so many* features in Excel that are crucial for business data analysis in custom ways that are independent of the source(s). PowerBI MUST START trying to get equity with many of the Excel Data Manipulation functions.

until composite models are resolved for SQL Server Analysis Services I really can not use the product and have to resort back to Excel Power Pivots.

'@Microsoft: Please do something about this, as it is crucial for so many companies.

Game changing feature. Do it!

We have colleagues who feel forced to move to Tableau because of only this issue. (Oh no!) We need this in Power BI badly! Thanks!

Would this also fix my business need to be able to combine a live Power BI Service dataset with other sources?

I think customization through "Composite Models" with SSAS tabular live connection could give a boost to our report.
