Link to an SQL database via DirectQuery

‎01-17-2020 04:03 AM

Hallo,

 

when I connect my SQL Database via DirectQuery in PowerBI Desktop (My System is a Power BI Report Server) so I can not create a measure etc.

Many menu items are roughened.

How to fix the problem?

Many thanks

Michael

Hey there,

 

You should be able to create measures using the majority of the out-of-the-box SSAS functions, some of them are unavailable for direct query against a sql query.
