I'm trying to have multiples reports with same dataset in a single workspace with Power BI.
I know i have to use "Power BI dataset" in Power BI Desktop.
But everytime i publish, it create a direct query new dataset instead of use the precedent one.
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help !
In the Power BI Service, you can click on the ellipsis of the dataset and Create report.
I have created a dataset in Power BI web, and then imported it on Power BI desktop (using File -> Get data -> Power BI datasets).
I don't see a way of adding Calculated Columns. Does the dataset need some special configuration to enable this?
Based on my experience you won't be able to see the columns because it using direct query. you can still add some columns and measure but your'e basically flying blind. you can just select the table in the report(visual view) and add column however you'll have to play the guessing game. But if you know your dataset you should be fine.
However a Dataflow wouldn't give the issue you're having.
I have been requested to add another column in a dataflow in Power BI and have done so and refreshed the dataset which uses the dataflow. The field is not appearing in the list of fields in Power BI for some reason. I have tried downloading the dataset on my desktop and cleared the cache and did not work. I opened Power Query (Transform data) and the column exists. I've tried to refresh preview and Close and Load but still not showing. I have 3 columns in that table in Power Query but only 2 are shown in the list of Fileds in Power BI.
Please can you help?
Power BI Filed List
Power Query
I was able to sort this out by right clicking the table and selecting Refresh data
check whether the data source path is correct or not in PBI desktop [path is from your local machine or not]

I am just starting out with Power BI. So far it has been easy to learn. My goal is to create a dashboard like this:
https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/
I am just wondering if someone knows an interactive power bi sample like this. Is it even possible to create such reports in power BI?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to create dashboards like this. See for example Power BI Embedded Playground or Microsoft Sales & Returns report (download or view in browser):
While working on Power BI, I have to show few columns from TABLE visual to specific set of users and hide for others.
So, till now I have created two ROLE in Power BI and added users but unfortunately, I am not able to hide and show TABLE Columns as per ROLE.
At this point - Column Level Security and Hiding Columns is not something one can achieve with Power BI.
