Power BI
Under ReviewComposite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)

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!

Would be awesome to get some info when you wanna introduce it :-)

Being able to connect to several datasets from the same report would definitely be a complete gamechanger. Sooo much work goes in to creating a well-worked dataset (with hundreds of measures, dosens of tables etc etc) that its really a nightmare trying to recreate that in several different datasets, and then keeping it current and correct in all these different datasets. JUST NEEDING ACCESS TO THE SAME MEASURES AND DATA in several reports should be easy, if Microsoft wants to be a real market leader

This missing functionality is potentially meaning we need to buy and deploy a non MS solution for our data reporting/analytics.

I was connecting to Cube and then found out that new connections to database is not supported, so, decided to Switch to Spotfire.
Connecting to different source would come as a necessity

This will greatly enhance the usability of Power BI dashboard-style capabilities
RE: Composite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)
Can we make more calculated measures from the measures already present in the cube. If not then is there any other way to do this. It can easily be done when we connect to the Data warehouse. but cannot be done when we connect to the cubes. Is it right.

I hate being unable to add non-service data sources to a report that uses service data. This at least would allow a base dataset to be used for multiple complex models. Is this anywhere on the roadmap, because it's absence severely limits the usefulness of ever using service datasets?
RE: Composite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)
Is there any news? It's needed urgently
RE: Composite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)
I understand that it would be challenging to implement but will take Power BI to next level
RE: Composite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)
Please implement. Like others as said, this is a much needed feature.
