Features Unsupported

  • In the case of multiple data sources modelled separately with a blend of relationships, the relationships will not be migrated to Power BI
  • If the Table name is not unique within a single workbook, Power BI throws an error
  • Transformations (includes conditions for success)
    • Spaces between keywords in an expression needs to be mandatory
    • Calculated fields with dimension columns from different tables
    • In calculating the difference between ‘Date’ and ‘Datetime’ column, the type needs to be the same
    • In Tableau, the values round to specific decimal values on calculated columns by default
    • If Storage mode is Live in Tableau, Power BI (Direct query) does not support all the transformations
