How to create a Static data as a table in the Power BI
Hi Anonymous ，
When you use Live connection, you can not add columns or table, it can only create a report level measure. If you need to add columns, you need to do these in the datasource.
When connecting to SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), there is an option to either import data from, or connect live to, the selected data model. If you select import, then you define a query against that external SSAS source, and the data is imported as normal. If you select to connect live then there is no query defined, and the entire external model is shown in the field list. If you select DirectQuery, as visuals are built, queries are sent to the external SSAS source. However, unlike DirectQuery, there is no sense in which a new model is being created; in other words, it's not possible to define new calculated columns, hierarchies, relationships, and so on. Instead you are simply connecting directly to the external SSAS model.

Hi Anonymous .
You can use 'Enter Data' feature to add custom static data into your report.
You will find that option under 'Home' tab.

Sorry 'Enter Data' is in disabled state
In that case, try doing the same in Power Query Editor.
Go to Transform Data->Home->Enter Data.
If that still not resolves your issue, then you can find more about it on;

Sorry, I am using a live connection, so I need to fetch (may be) from AAS instead of directly doing it in Power BI
