Adhoc Analysis with Analysis Services

Hi Community,

 

we are currently working to set up a retail data model with Analysis Services to provide self service analytics to the end-user.

I was wondering about the following - in all the cases in which end-user did vlookup to enrich existing data. How can this be achieved in Power BI in combination with analysis services? I understood when you use a live connection you cannot add any data. How do you recommend to work around?

 

Best,

 

P.

@PhMeDie ,

 

To modify the model in power bi, you need to connect to SSAS with import mode instead.
