Create calculated fields

[malindajepsen]

I need to be able to create calculated fields that don't exist in my data source (for example, subtracting two values or getting a percentage based on two numbers). Thanks!

An essential ....

totally agree !

Yes, this seems like a very basic requirement yet it's not implemented. I would also like to be able to ask questions about my data like "show me the percentage increase in sales this year" or something similar.

Any ETA on calculations based on grouping? With this item, I'd be able to move from SSRS to PowerBI...

Isn't this available now? I can create calculated columns in the power bi designer tool. However, I am not sure how to specify the data format type (currency, percentage etc).

Is there an ETA when calculated columns/measures will arrive for PowerBI web? I.e. to allow us to use DAX functions of data that is pulled in through the PBI REST API.
