I see that calculated columns can be created using DAX in Power BI Desktop, but this is not available in the Cloud version. It would be great to have this functionality there.

RE: Dax in Power BI Web

We are evaluating differences between Power BI and Tableau.
And this is on BIG area where Tableau has an advantage.
You can create calculated fields/columns in Tableau Web.
But as of July 2020, it looks like you still can't do that in Power BI.

RE: Dax in Power BI Web

i think we should support this idea cause it will be helpful with stream dataset

Must have. If you are going to have data integration through the Power BI API then there needs to be a means to create DAX calculations after the data comes through the service.

RE: Dax in Power BI Web

This is definitely important to us as well since we rely heavily on Azure and its native integration with Power BI Web.

RE: Dax in Power BI Web

DAX is not available?
I can not believe it.

It can not be used as the BI platform

RE: Dax in Power BI Web

Absolutely. If MS want to push Power BI in the cloud with its links to Azure, it could be a fantastic product but not if its desktops poor cousin. Features like this MUST be at least in the Pro version
