My top features in April
Analytic Model
Stacking
You can create a new analytic model using another analytic model as fact source and re-use the modelled definitions for measures, exposed attributes, dimensions, and variables.
More information
Replace The Fact Source of an Analytic Model
You can replace the fact source of an existing analytic model by dragging the new fact source onto the fact source of the analytic model on the canvas. More information.
Impact and Lineage Analysis for Measures
You can display an impact and lineage analysis for measures in the analytic model.
Format of Measures
You can now change the format of a measure (decimal places and scale) in an analytic model in the Formatting section in the editor.
Data Validation: Referential Integrity
A new validation rule helps you ensure that all values in foreign key columns in fact views are present in the key columns of the associated dimensions. More information
Task chains: Deep Retry
For task chains that include nested task chains, the behavior for retrying failed tasks within a nested chain has been improved. When a task chain reports a failure, and the failure occurred running one of the tasks inside a nested task chain, retry of the parent task chain no longer requires rerunning all the tasks in the nested task chain, but only needs to rerun tasks from the point where an individual task reported a failure. More information
Microsoft SQL Server as source in Replication Flow
You can now use connection type Microsoft SQL Server as a source to replicate data from these Microsoft SQL Server databases to all targets in replication flows. More information
