Excel Pivot Table OLAP live connectivity

Hi!

 

Is it possible to upload OLAP Pivot Table reports to Power BI and use REFRESH DATA? 

 

Thanks,

Kaarel.

It is not possible to refresh the Excel Pivot table created on OLAP cubes/models. The Refresh is supported if the OLAP data is first fetched into Power Pivot and then created a Pivot Table on the Power Pivot Data Model . 

 

 

The suggestion to enable that can be found on the link below
