Power BI semantic model

A Power BI semantic model source maps the same governed model your reports already use — so a map reflects the same measures, relationships, and security as the rest of your Power BI content.

Connecting

You can either:

  • Pick fields and measures from the model, or
  • Run a DAX query for full control over the result.

Set a location so the results can be drawn on the map.

Measures and security

  • The model's measures and relationships are computed by the model, so your map shows the same numbers as your reports.
  • Row-level security (RLS) defined in the model is enforced — each user sees only the rows their role allows.
