    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.

    We are looking at this for our modeling in the web capability.

    RE: Dax in Power BI Web

    Being able to create calculated measures online or with embedded reports is needed, so users won’t have to download reports just to create simple measures. I experience users working as report designers prefer not to use Power BI desktop. Either due to working on Mac or simply because they are working with embedded reports. In my opinion no need to add all datamodeling features - only the ones similar to what you can do on desktop when connecting to a Power BI dataset.

    Having the ability to manipulate data using DAX functions in the online version of PowerBI.
    - as a user I can create calculate/measure functions using the .com version
    - currently this is only available via Desktop.

    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.

    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.

    DAX is not available?
    I can not believe it.

    It can not be used as the BI platform
