Creating Measures in Report

Hi community,

Hope you all are doing well.

 

I have a doubt regarding Power BI Service.

I know there's an option to Create a report in Power BI Service via Excel or an already published Dataset.

we can create visuals, and apply aggregations but can we create measures in the report? that's my main concern

 

Because I tried everything but couldn't find an option to create a measure in the Power BI Service report.

 

 

Please help.

why is the Open model option not activated? in few datasets it was activated and I could create measures, but why not in this one??

 

I've activated the Edit option too in workspace settings.

@Niraj_vora0106  - In the workspace settings, you need enable the option "User can edit the data models in Power BI Service". Hope this helps.

Hello,

 

I think you need to activate Edit Data model in Power bi service
