PowerBI Desktop Cant Connect to Multidimensional Cube

[bhupendrapatel]

I am trying to connect to Multidimensional Cube but it shows me error as below. The SQL Server version is 2016 so thats not an issue. The SQL Browser service is running on the SQL Server host machine. I can connect to the cubes using Excel so no question of firewall as well. I will be glad if any one can help me with what could be the cause of this happening?

Also, i can connect to the Tabular Cube with the same PowerBI desktop just not the multidimensional one.
