Formatting SSAS values (Live connection/explore live)
SSAS is a semantic layer in BI. This means it stores metadata natively with data. Part of this metadata is display formatting. Power View (the report component in Power BI) is designed, for better or worse, to defer to the display format metadata of its source. You should alter these display formats in your SSAS model.

This unfotunately is no longer working. I agree with the semantic layer concept but since November 2016, Power BI is no longer taking into account the SSAS formatting contains in the metadata. Please
