SSAS live connection and image urls
I am connecting the desktop file to an SSAS tabular model live connection. When you connect live, you don't have the ability to model a measure or column, and that means I cannot display an image that I am trying to. Does anybody know how I would be able to show the image, not just the url?Re: OneDrive Excel to OneDrive pbix to Power BI Service
That was my thoughts exactly. If you didn't need calculated columns or measures, you could connect the Power BI Service straight to your excel sheet and have hourly updates, but as soon as you want to make any more complex report or use custom visuals, that plan goes out the window.Re: OneDrive Excel to OneDrive pbix to Power BI Service
Yes, from what I have gathered, to get an hourly refresh of your OneDrive Excel data, you would have to be directly connected to it through the service. If you connect to the Power BI Desktop report, it will not be updated through the Power BI Hourly Update. If you make any changes to the Desktop Report, those will be picked up on the Hourly Update.Re: OneDrive Excel to OneDrive pbix to Power BI Service
From what I am gathering, I can't have both. If I want updated data every hour, I have to connect to excel through the service. If I want measures and columns, I need to connect to the power bi report through the service. Is there any way I can have both? Thanks!
