Power BI, Analyse in Excel, Offline Olap, error without Error-Message
Hey Community,
If I try to use Offline Olap function for PivotTable connected with Power BI Dataset I get an Error without an errrormessage.
Does offline olap work for anybody?
Am I right, that offline Olap means a would have a cube offline so I could navigate for pivot table without internet conneciton?
Thanks in advace!

Hi StephanDenker ,
An offline cube file (.cub) stores data in the form of an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube. This data may represent a portion of an OLAP database from an OLAP server or it may have been created independently of any OLAP database. Use an offline cube file to continue to work with PivotTable and PivotChart reports when the server is unavailable or when you are disconnected from the network.

Hi StephanDenker ,
Based on my research, here are some limitations:
- Offline cubes are only available on Multidimensional Analysis Services connections.
- Distinct Count measures are not supported.
- Dimensions with binary data are not supported.
- When you add a parent-child hierarchy, levels and filters on a parent-child hierarchy are ignored and the entire parent-child hierarchy is included.
