Hi Community, I have a quick question.
I’m working with an SSAS Cube connection in an Excel file. When I right-click on a Key column, I see the option "Show Properties in Report," which allows me to add properties as columns.
Does Power BI or Power Query offer a similar feature?
Thanks!
Hi parry2k! Thanks for your response. I tried using a Live Connection to the SSAS Cube. Fields from 'Show Properties' appear but are hidden, so I can't add them to my model.
I think I need to talk to the DB Admin for unhidden that fields
Regards!
@tomasarg123 keep us posted. Cheers!

@tomasarg123 PQ for sure not, but Power BI you can test it by connecting to the cube. Very less likely it will. I don't have any cube available to test it.
