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):

You can vote to try to have that changed here:
Sorry...

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?

Got it working now. The only issue I'm having now is we changed the name of the cube and the pbix desktop files that had the live connection won't let me in. The server name is the same, but there's not a place to put in the new cube database name. I don't know a way to change that, so I'll have to start all over.
This is marked as solved????
This was about not being able to import large cubes into Power BI.
There are no solutions in this thread.
What exactly are the limitations of power bi on size, cube or otherwise?
