Visibility features from SSAS

  • Perspectives are essentially view definitions of models such that only a defined set of tables, columns, and metrics of a model are exposed to a given view
  • Display folders are used to consolidate similar measures and columns and simplify the interface
    • For example, a Sales measure folder may have multiple subfolders, each with a group of similar measures   
  • It's currently unclear if either of these SSAS features will be made available to Power BI Desktop models
