You are correct. Power BI Service only contains Power View, the report authoring and consumption experience, along with dashboards.

 

The Power Pivot / data modeling component is available in Power BI Desktop only. This includes adding measures, adding calculated columns, defining relationships - all DAX functionality.

 

The Power Query / get data component is likewise available only in Power BI Desktop. This includes the data transformation and mashup tools and M language.

    Hi Gregg,

    Can we open/access an online power BI report into PBI Desktop and then add calculations to it and then view and share the updated report (with calculations) online?

    Using Azure SQL Data warehouse. This can only be connected through Power BI Service, as Power BI Desktop fails to publish reports which are this large. In such scenario how do we create calculated columns or even sort a column using other column?

     

    Thanks,
