I have a dataset in the Power BI service.
I discovered that if I create a new .pbix file with Power BI Desktop, and I use the "Power BI service" live connection to connect to my dataset, then in my Power BI Desktop file I can create new measures based on that dataset. The new measures exist locally in this .pbix file only. Very cool.
With Analyze in Excel, can I create my own custom measure, in a similar fashion? I tried, and...
Drat! Am I missing something? Is there some way to do this?

I found this idea, requesting that "Analyze in Excel" have the capability of creating implicit measures, by adding a numeric field (but not a measure) to the "Values" field well. The idea is even in "PLANNED" status.
That is similar...and would probably solve some of our requirements.
But it would also be good if we could define our own explicit DAX measures, on the fly, in an Excel workbook using Analyze in Excel.
