live connection from Pover BI desktop to SSAS using HTTP to msmdpump.dll
Advocate II have SQL Server 2016 installed on a stand-alone server, which is added to our domain. SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is installed on the server. I can browse the SSAS cube from excel and via Import from Power BI Desktop. If I try via live connection, it seems as if I can connect, but the fields section of Power BI Desktop is not populated (like it is when choosing Import from Power BI Desktop).
Via Power BI service (PowerBi.com website) I added gateway and datasource, the dataset (connects to SSAS) is pushed through to My Workspace under Workspaces. But when I click on the dataset in My Workspace, the hourglass just spins forever.
So it seems there is either a bug in Power BI somewhere or we are doing soemthing wrong, yet it seems nobody has a fix or solution to the problem.
A year has passed with no response on this. How long will it take to solve a problem that even Excel is capable of? Come on.
