Couldn't load the model associated with this report.  Make sure you have a connection to the server, and try again.

I am having the same problem. Trying to create a live connection to a SQL SERVER 2014 SP1 Analysis Services MD cube. We are able to connect via Import but the limited functionality doesn't meet our needs. Multiple users are having the same issue.
