I have a pbix where I am directly consuming from a SSAS db.
So, whenever I try to use a measure, I click but I can't see its definition...
Is there a way to see the measure definition in Power BI? If not... how can I see the definition/code of a measure? (is it better to connect with SSMS to the SSAS instance or to find the model.bim and use visual studio instead...?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You cannot see measure definitions in Power BI if they come from any Direct Query or Live connection. As you describe - look them up in the source.
