Hello,
Just reading the November update for Power BI which indicates the following:
Interested in the forum's perspective - is there still a place for Analysis Services (e.g. SSAS Tabular/MDX) as a primary source of information for Power BI reports? Or will dependence on Analysis Services diminish in favour of the above technologies - e.g. PBI data modelling, PBI data service, MS common data model, SQL DWH etc?
Thanks,

Hi pbix,
It seems to be a deep topic about relationship and difference between online data process and traditional ETL. I think both are still useful in specific senarios. For power bi datasource, I would recommend you to try data flow because dataflow is a suite self-service low-code/no-code features and capabilities for business analysts to easily process and unify their data and store it in Azure-based data-lake storage. With these new capabilities, Power BI offers a solution for any business need—whether you want to prep your data with ease, using a familiar built-in Power Query experience, or to leverage the full Azure stack for more advanced use-cases.
Also, in other senario, the comparsion is also meaningful, I would recommend you to refer to blog below:
