Add Column and Measures

I'm trying to figure out how to add a column or measure from the web frontend.  It's pretty simple to do in PowerBI Desktop, but can't figure out how to do it from the web frontend.  Any help would be appreciated!

You cannot create measures & calculated fields on the Web service or change the data model. You can only use the data model/ fields already uploaded,

Thanks @konstantinos.

 

This is new to me. I always thought that the Power BI Web Frontend has more features than the desktop version. 

 

So if i need to create a new column or measure, I have to go back to the desktop version of the file and create it? How do i synch the two versions then?

 

Thanks;

Andrew
