SSAS OLAP Cubes - Rolling up using 'Import' functionality?

[OZ_123]

Hello All,

I am trying to import certain metrics from my SSAS OLAP cube with PowerBI Desktop and noticed that it strips all parent child hierarchy aggregations. 

Is there a way to maintain these - so for example I want to get a metric (eg. Missed %) at a Parent level and Child Level like I see using a live connection instead of just a flat import at the lowest level.

Regards,

Oz

Hi Yuliana,
Is there not a way to write an MDX query to maintain those hierarchies and still keep the relationships?
I.E. trying to import smaller amounts of data by two years opposed to eight years of data to help the performance of the dashboard, while also maintaining the relationships of sales at each product level?

Hi @OZ_123,

From your description, you want to keep the Parent-child hierarchies when connecting to SSAS with import mode, right? Per my knowledge, this is not supported.

To maintain the hierarchies, we have to create a live connection to SSAS, the levels between parant and child will be uploaded. For import mode, it only fetches resource tables, ignoring relationships between them. 

Best regards,
