dataset from pbi services

‎11-11-2019 11:37 AM

Hi, I'm new in PowerBI, and have a big question.

 

If I upload a dataset from an Excel file, when I try to connect with PowerBi Desktop, I can't make columns or use Query Manager, Why?

My data is generated from PowerApps and saved in OneDrive as Excel file, if I upload on pbi services as dataset, I can refresh the dataset in Onedrive Mode, and its fantastic, but I can't make columns on pbi desktop and the software turns very limited. I need columns for calculate minutes of process from, [finish hour - start hour]. Otherwise, can I do this operation with a measure? If the answer is yes, How?

 

Thanks !

 

sorry for my english btw
