DAX SSAS Live Connection

‎09-19-2017 03:18 PM

I am wondering if there is any option to create new custom measures using PowerBI desktop live connection to a SSAS 2012 cube?

 

I come from a Tableau world where measures, sets, etc are readily availble to create when live connected to an analysis cube.

Hi @wkrinsky,

 

We are not able to create a calculated measure in Power BI desktop if we connect live to SSAS cube currently. You can vote this idea up: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes.
