Dax and Measure limitation in Power Bi Datamarts

Hello all,

 

I am working with Preview feature of Power Bi which is Datamarts. I would like to understand if there is any way of creating a measure table like we do in Power bi Desktop. For creating a measure table I have followed this video:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfUXvmcDWeo

 

Where it creates an empty table with one column , then adds a sample measure which calculates count or sum os sales and then deletes original column, so now its a folder where all measures can be stored. This is done in Power Bi desktop but can I do something similar in Power Bi datamarts ?

 

Thank You,

GP

Hi @gp_12 ,

 

Power BI allows you to create measures directly within your Power BI Datamart. However, please note that the concept of a “measure table” as it exists in Power BI Desktop (an empty table used solely for storing measures) does not directly translate to Power BI Datamarts. In Datamarts, measures are typically associated with specific tables rather than being stored in a separate, dedicated table.

 

Best regards.
