Hello all,
Can I use data modelling functions with hybrid API dataset? I can't use functions like calculated columns and I'm not sure about what really is the problem. Do you know something about it?
I import the dataset from PBI service to PBI desktop and I still not having some tools: calculated columns for exemple.
Thanks,
Diego

HI @sirros_iot,
>>I can't use functions like calculated columns and I'm not sure about what really is the problem. Do you know something about it?
Current power bi not support add custom steps or do some customize in query editor when you use direct query mode.
In addition, when you get data from power bi service, it will switch to live connection mode which disable most of edit function.
For difference of these connection model, please refer to below link:
