Power Bi Desktop May Update - Import data from SSAS ignoring DAX query

Hi! 

 

Today I updated Power BI Desktop to the latest version and I noticed that importing data from SSAS Tabular using a MDX or DAX query ignores this part completely and sends you to the model browse form.

 

Before (version 2.29.4217.221):

Specified DAX query is executed and data is ready to be loaded.

After May(Update). Version: 2.35.4399.381 32-bit (mayo de 2016)

DAX query is ignored and the model browse form is shown.

The same behavior as when you don't specify the DAX query.

 

We tried this on serveral workstations and against multiple servers with the same result.

 

 Is this a Bug in 2016 May Update?
