Power BI Dataset Live Connect, Convert from SSAS Live Connect

Excellent suggestion on tool from PowerBITips.com. I followed the code and found the steps are:
1. Add .zip to the file and open in File Explorer
2. Delete "Connections" and "Security Bindings" files in the zip archive.
3. Remove the .zip extension and open PBIX file as normal.
4. Choose Get Data from Power BI Dataset (Live)

Whilst this does work, remember if something goes wrong it is not supported my Microsoft.
