Hi all!
I connect with Power BI Desktop (latest version) to my SQL Server Analysis Service and i create a new Measure.
For example: NewMeasure = Sales[Value] / Sales[Quantity]. All works perfectly.
But when i try to use Sales[Value] or Sales[Quantity] in other visualization it returns me an error: "Unexpected exception" and also when i use this two Measures with Management Studio or Excel, it always gives me error "Unexpected exception".
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the replies and sorry for my bad english.

@PowerbiScp,
Please install the latest Service pack and Cumulative Update for your SQL Server and then check if the issue still occurs.

@PowerbiScp,
What version of your SQL Server Analysis Service(SSAS) and how do you create the two measures(Sales[Value] and Sales[Quantity]) in Analysis Service data model? Please make sure that you have installed the latest Service pack for your SSAS.

Hi Lydia,
the version of the Analysis SErver is 13.0.1601.5.
Te measures are simple SUM of a numeric column.
