Hi @test,

Agree with Eno1978.

The feature that create new calculated fields/measures on top of a live SSAS connection is under review, you can vote it in the following ideas.

@test From the look of it, you are connecting using a live connection to a model/cube. You can't add anything additional in PBI when using this connection type, you need to do it in the source.

For some additional info on connection types, check out a blog I wrote on it here
