SSAS import - very strange behaviour!
Hi all, In the interest of time (I'll see first from the community what details are required to help out!) I won't get into a huge amount of details on the query and source data other than it is ...
Well, you cannot import the data from ssas model in the first place, that is the limitation for connecting to SSAS.
Power BI can only connect to SSAS model under live connection model.

Hi,
sorry but you're incorrect - if you choose to connect using live connection (directquery) this is true, but you can also connect to an SSAS (same as you can to an SQL) using import mode to bring the data into the PBI model to them combine with other data elements...
