No support for DAX when developing using Power BI Service?

I just want to confirm what I think I already know...that there is no support for DAX or object relationships when developing using the Power BI service itself. Correct? If I'm wrong, how do I access these features when using the Power BI Service?

 

(I already know how to do it using Power BI Desktop, so no help needed there.)

 

Thank you.

@j316 You are correct. I like to think of the two components in this simplified form

 

Service: Dashboards and Reports

Desktop: Modeling and Reports

 

Both support creating visuals, but you can only manipulate data (use dax) in the Desktop or other tool (Tabular models)
