Hello Community,
We have a dataset that is created from our datalake and refreshed on a nightly basis. Is it possible to add a measure (calculated field) to the dataset without downloading the pbix creating the DAX measure and then publishing the pbix. We are looking for the most efficient way to allow a desktop user to add a measure without disconnecting the dataset from the datasource. I hope this is clear! Thank you for your help.

If you have tabular editor and you have premium you can connect to the workspace and add a measure that way. By connecting to the Power BI XMLA endpoint in tabular editor you can add a new measure.
