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.

This is being worked on! It's a long project but active development has started. Stay tuned for more information. Thanks for all the votes and support!

I can only agree with the rest of the community. Several of my customers are asking for this.

Hi Charles,

This was placed in the backlog in September. Any update on the planning for implementation? This is urgently needed for us and our users.

BR, Oscar

Very useful update, would allow for standardizing datasets between multiple reports.

We would like to create relationship between different types of data sources - e.g. query data created by .pbix file and dataset from SSAS cubes. Any alternative solution would be appreciated.

Should be available for Azure Analysis Services too!

To echo the rest of the community, we desperately need this capability.
