Connect Multidimensional to SQL Server Standard License

[ragnar1]

With the removal of the connection to SQL Server Standard License (worked with the first preview) the potentials to a lot of Power BI users is out. The entire SME business is left out to use this feature although you can still use the connection through Excel and Pivot. Ideal would be to be moved this license restriction to Power BI Pro account instead of the free version.

Hi @German, I agree, this should be reopened.

Hi Charles. This comment should not be marked as completed as the problem described is not solved. Connect to MD models will only work for SQL Server 2016 Standard, but not for previous versions. You are leaving a big gap there. Please reopen thi thread.

That's awesome! Is it in an update (or future update)? When will this be available? You've got some happy customers if this all works!

I agree, leaving a big gap for a lot of customers!
