Composite Models - 2 datasets - formatting of measures is lost

[Anonymous]

I am connected to 2 datasets in a composite model. These 2 datasets use direct query both of them. In the composite model I create relationships between tables in the 2 models. One thing I notice is that formatting on measures is gone. F.eks, in dataset a measure is formatted as percentage 3%, whereas in composite model same measure shows 0,03 when used in reports. Or in dataset a measure is formatted as currency with no decimals, and in composite model same measure shows without currency and with decimals. Date columns modify their formatting. Columns that should not summarize, all of a sudden sum. 

Also, descriptions of measures and columns are not there in the composite model either. 

Is this to be expected and a limitation at this point? Or am I doing something wrong? I am using  Version: 2.93.641.0 64-bit (mai 2021)

I have read more thoroughly through the limitations, and this is an explicit limitation at this point i see.

• Format strings on columns and measures from a remote source are not imported to the composite model. We are looking for your feedback to prioritize this.
