Importing table from SSAS model: Hidden columns

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to import tables from a SSAS model into PBI. Hidden columns are not showing, however... It is not possible to import them... Is it possible to fix this, without changing the SSAS model?

Hi alekskr,

I test the Tabular model in my environment, I find that there is no method to get the hide column field in Powerbi  pane currently, you need to change this in AS server or you could try to use live connect.

In addition, you could get the data of the hidden column, you need to query it directly when connect it from Powerbi

I think you could post this requirement on power-bi-ideas

In order to pouplate data with Hidden Columns, please follow below steps:

1) Click on GetData

2) Enter the AAS Server address and Databse details

3) in the MDX or DAX query add :  EVALUATE 'TableName'

3) Click OK
