Hi

 

Did You move to Power BI datasets instead of using SSAS tabular cube and what was the trade-offs?

I am looking into move to SSAS for several reasons. The PowerBI Pro licens is a shared space between companies making the power to refresh and calculate measures be very controlled by the amount of power available to You at the time. That also means that I am potentially looking into upgrade to a premium version for all users and that is still not enough power vise.

 

So did You move to datasets or stayed with SSAS?

    Hello Bokazoit.

    Yes I went ahead and created a Power BI dataset modeled with data coming from Microsoft Dynamics 365.

    Each user that had access to the data set had a Premium Per user License.

    Once you have a properly designed model everything will be fine.

    If you think the the Premium Per user License is not enough for you, you can use the Premium Capacity License.

    I am still usin the Power BI Dataset.

    kind regards,
