Downloading .pbix from web missing Data and Relationship View tab

I've download a PBIX from the Power BI Web, however when downloaded, the Data and Relationship tab is missing.

Does this mean that when you want to edit a report that someone else has built (and upload back to the Web), you have to use the original file?

    lockmc What you are seeing is most likely a result of the connection being a "Live Connection" to a SSAS instance... This is the only time both the data and relationship tab will be missing on the left hand nav. I've just tested this out and imported data shows all 3 after I've downloaded the PBIX, and as expected the live connection to my SSAS instance only showed the report tab when I downloaded that one.

      Yes, this is an SSAS connection.

      Thanks for the reply. So how do I change the MDX if I wanted to for a connection to SSAS?

        lockmc With a live connection, you need to make any model changes to the actual SSAS instance. There is no current support for adding on to the Model within the report itself. Everything has to be derived/managed/altered in the source cube.

      Anonymous in this case, how do I know the data source for the project or tables? 

       

      I know it's kind of a dumb question, but I don't have much experience with power bi.

        Anonymous Unfortunetely, you don't. The author of the model would need to add source information. I've done that before, add a table to the model that was nothing other than an informative record of where the tables come from. Also, since this initial post, there is added functionality now that allows you to add measures into the report you are making on top of the live connection.
