Advanced analytics usually require things like dynamic binning/grouping or other form of report query/filter time calculated categorical data (ie column).

Having the ability to create a calculated table that is affected by the slicers in its context would solve all the problems where "using a measure in axis" is required. Additionally it would simplify many calculations that currently are possible only in a very complicated manner like dynamic pareto analysis and may also improve performance since many measures can share this intermediate calculation step.

This is the kind of layered dataframe structure that tools like Tableau and SandDance offer and the thing I miss the most when working with Power BI.
