That's the error I was receiving last week, before installing the latest version of the gateway. It seems the preview gateway I installed in December may have had the option to select an SSAS data source, but I think some components may have been missing. Downloading the latest and greatest resolved my issues. The two installers also had a pretty noticeable difference in size.  

 

There are log files where you may find the error. Mine was that some ADOMD components were missing.

C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Enterprise Gateway\EnterpriseGatewayXX.log

 

Another piece I've found with the SSAS connections is that UPN on the user's AD account matters. That's where the lookup is taking place between powerbi.com and AD. In my case, my PowerBI account was [email protected] and the UPN attribute I had in AD was [email protected]. Changing the UPN to [email protected] allowed for the lookup to take place, the account to resolve within AD, and for the credentials to be passed along to SSAS.
