Creating DAX measures while connected to OLAP cube.

Hello,

 

I am attempting to create measures while connected to an OLAP cube however it seems that i am unable to as they icons are grayed out.

 

Is there a workaround for this ?

 

Thank you for your time.

    Try right clicking on a table in the fields pane. You should be able to click 'New measure' here. (screenshot from a cube connected pbix)

    Unfortunately this option is not available to me, it works for reports with data that is not connected to a Cube, however on the reports linked to a cube i am unable to do so 😞

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Did you connect to SSAS Multidimensional Models in connect live mode now ? Currently, only Tabular model supports to create report level measures in Power BI Desktop. For multidimensional cubes, you can't create any measures or calculated columns. You can see:
