SSAS Live Connection - How to add new measure - Power BI

[skaranam]

Hello Team,

I started working on creating power bi reports and one of the report is to pull data from cube. Below is the scenarios,

1. I created a report and selected Import option. I have columns as Orders and Visits. I need a extra column called average value as Orders/visits and i created calculated measure and it looks good. The issue is, this data will not refresh daily. I need to refresh the report daily manually. Then i want to create live report. The issue is in Step 2.
2.  I created a report and selected Direcy Query. I have the columns orders and visits. I am not able to add measure or new column when connected via direct query. How can i add the column or measure to get Orders/visits. Is there any way to add new measures.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Sai

As @deldersveld said, it's not supported to create measure when opening live connection to SSAS. You have to create those measures within your tabular model.

You cannot add measures with a live SSAS connection. You can read more about it here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-analysis-services-tabular-data/
