SSAS minimum version required for power BI cube usage

[Namnami]

Hi,

We have SSAS 2005 cubes, are those possible to work with in Power BI? How can it possible for Power BI to read from them?

@Namnami,

It is supported to connect to SSAS 2008 R2 or later version in Power BI. In your scenario, please upgrade your SSAS 2005to SSAS 2008 R2 or later version.

There is a similar thread for your reference.

Thanks, from following link (see the limitations section) I see SSAS 2012 is required, not only 2008 R2 as you mention.

Please clarify which is the minimal version required to have power BI interactive cube reports?

@Namnami,

When using "Connect Live" mode to connect to SSAS, the minimum version is SSAS 2012. When using "Import" mode, the minimum version is SSAS 2008 R2.
