I'm new to Power BI and I'm trying to learn the best practices for what might be common tasks.
In this example, think of a single table that I import from an OData feed, like an employee directory. I want to maintain this table in it's natural state for other users who may want to query it, but I also want to create pre-built aggregations like "Count of Users by Department" or "Count of Users by State" which are obviously group operations.
Is is possible to create a new table based off of the original table and then apply a grouping to this new table? In this scenario, I'm anticipating that the data will be loaded or refreshed once by refreshing the orginal table. Or do I have to perform several Get Data operations and then perform groupings on each table?
Thanks for any hints to get started.
