Number format is lost when connecting to multi dimensional cube

I’ve got a number of cases where the format for a calculated member is lost when using that member in a PowerBI report. Calculation from the cube’s calculation script. CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[TestFormat] AS .17, FORMAT_STRING = "Percent", VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Calculation Result' ; I pull this into PowerBI designer and it displays as ".17" Since this a direct connection, I do not have the option of altering the format in PowerBI designer. Using SQL Server 2016.

    Have you found a solution for this?
