Microsoft has rolled out general availability of semantic model editing directly in the Power BI service, enabling users to modify models through their web browsers for the first time. This update broadens the platform’s capabilities by bringing core modeling workflows—once limited to desktop tools—into the online experience.

Here’s what you need to know:

Create new semantic models in the web
Connect to 100+ data sources directly in your browser. Go to the Create page, select Get data, choose your source, configure settings, and select the tables to include—then pick your next step.
Option 1: Create a report
Jump right into the familiar report editor and start building visuals, adding filters, and customizing layouts—no desktop app required.
Option 2: Only create a semantic model
Focus on modeling first. Add relationships, write DAX measures, and configure row-level security before creating reports.
Option 3: Transform data
Use the modern Power Query editor to shape and transform your data in the browser, then decide whether to create a report or just a semantic model.
Edit existing semantic models in the web
Manage relationships, author DAX, edit properties, configure row-level security, and refresh schema and data—all online.
