Hi,
We have our semantic layer in a SSAS multi-dimensional cube with Power BI reports connected in DirectQuery mode. The challenge we have is with pinning report elements based on time aggregations such as Month-to-date. Since there is no "time" concept on a dashboard, when a tile based on MTD time aggregation is pinned to a dashboard,
- we have to unpin it when a month changes,
- set the filter option on the report to the current month
- repin the dashboard
- repeat for every measure that is dependent on time
The challenge is magnified when we have measures that are based on daily time aggregation such as sales by hour. These tiles need to be unpinned and repinned every day. This is not feasible.
The only workaround is to make the MDX time aggregation measures "insensitive" to time and default them to the current date. This does not seem like a good solution?
Has anyone come across this challenge and can provide help on overcoming it?
Many thanks.
Andrew
