Importing in from SSAS Cube
It is the case that Power BI can only connect to SSAS Multidimensional Enterprise Edition (or BI Edition, though that has gone in SQL Server 2016):

I've just had a second confirmation from Microsoft that DAX queries are supported in SSAS 2016 Multidimensional Standard Edition, and someone I know has tested Power BI Desktop with the same configuration and he says it works (though I haven't tested it myself). Are you sure you're using the latest version of everything?

cwebb I'm very afraid the problem maybe the SQL is a standard edition, and it Power BI may require an Enterprise version. Really hope that's not the case as it really de-values Power BI for SSAS cube connections.
