This is really cool. I was able to get this working in an insider's build. Would there be anyway to combine data from a dataset with some external data like an Excel workbook or a table from another DB? I assume that wouldn't be possible until they release the feature for composite models over datasets, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Hello Sir, Good Day, I created a date hierarchy and tried to use it in excel pivot, it is throwing an error saying "can not create the hierarchy because it is not processed" could you please suggest what to do?

Do you know if the connection will use Row Level Security if it has been defined in the Power BI Dataset? Assuming that user will only be able to connect to Power BI service if they have it activated on their O365 licence and will only see the Datasets (Workspaces) that they have access to. Thanks.
