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.
Not sure why its says - Solved!
I think this is a very big limitation of the tool. In real world a reprts formatting need will never drive to make changes to underline data source (cube). In fact its not possible to do. Two different reports can have different formatting needs which one you will put in Cube. Not good, something to work on asap for Power BI team.
As we say "You don't get second chance to make first impression!" this one is not good :)
