Hi @brycedwhite 

Got an update from the internal team.

"Groups are not supported in DirectLake models. This is because they rely on calculated columns. If you want to create a grouping in a DirectLake model you need to do this by creating a grouping column as part of the ETL logic that loads your Lakehouse tables."

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.
