Submitted by on ‎12-19-2016 12:10 PM

Hello, I used the excel export function in PowerBi to create a view in Excel - I receive two errors:

MDX DirectQuery.PNG

 

1. MDX Error - see screenshot when adding a field - see screenshot

2. MDX Construct when adding the ActualsCD field - see screenshot

When a model is in DirectQuery mode, it can only be queried by using DAX. You cannot use MDX to create queries. This means that you cannot use the Excel Pivot Client, because Excel uses MDX.

Please refer to Client restrictions part in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230898(v=sql.110).aspx

 

Best Regards,

Herbert
