I need to be able to create calculated fields that don't exist in my data source (for example, subtracting two values or getting a percentage based on two numbers). Thanks!

RE: Create calculated fields

Is there an ETA when calculated columns/measures will arrive for PowerBI web? I.e. to allow us to use DAX functions of data that is pulled in through the PBI REST API.

RE: Create calculated fields

Any ETA on calculations based on grouping? With this item, I'd be able to move from SSRS to PowerBI...

RE: Create calculated fields

Isn't this available now? I can create calculated columns in the power bi designer tool. However, I am not sure how to specify the data format type (currency, percentage etc).

RE: Create calculated fields

Yes, this seems like a very basic requirement yet it's not implemented. I would also like to be able to ask questions about my data like "show me the percentage increase in sales this year" or something similar.
