Create calculated columns when using SSAS live connect

[WillT]

In May 2017 Power BI Desktop started supporting creation of DAX measures when working in live connect mode to an external SSAS model: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/ Vote on this idea if you want support for calculated columns in this mode as well!

Really in need of creating calculated columns when connected to SSAS Live from PBI Desktop. In our org, to deploy SSAS changes, we need huge process in place. Only PBI changes is in hands of power users. Giving this contol will be a huge advantage for many users.

while not exactly implemented as described, with the release of DQ/AS, the user story is covered and the feature is probably not going to be built separately.
