We really love the new feature of 'Composite Models' in the Power BI July 2018 update! This enables us to join custom lists with DirectQuery sources.
It would also be beneficial if this would also work when connected to SSAS Tabular in DirectQuery.
This would stronlgy improve the enterprise features of Power BI.

until composite models are resolved for SQL Server Analysis Services I really can not use the product and have to resort back to Excel Power Pivots.

This is a pretty typical use case - it would be very helpful to have this feature.

Any update on this much needed feature?

Yet another reason I prefer to create reports in Excel and simply publish them.
IMHO, there are *so many* features in Excel that are crucial for business data analysis in custom ways that are independent of the source(s).
PowerBI MUST START trying to get equity with many of the Excel Data Manipulation functions.

This would really be a game changer, at least for us. We have several models built for each functional area e.g. Sales, Financials, Expenses, Operations and would like to connect to several of these in a single report to show impact of one area over the other.
