    No you do not need the connector to connect the desktop to a SSAS within your enviremont. Does your account have access to the Tabular models?

      hi,

       

      Thanks i think kdejonge is right, we don't need connector with Powerbi desktop.

       

      I use my computer with my account, i'm sql server admin and i can connect to tabular model from Excel, SSMS but not with PowerBI live connection i can just import data from the tabular model.

    Thib,

    Follow Jen's post. You need to set up the AS Connector on the tabular model instance. In order to connect "live" from any of the Power BI tools, you need to have a "live" connector, ie. Install the Analysis Services Connector on your AS instance.
