Hi there

You will see all the data that is contained in the data model when double clicking on a measure.

What underlying data are you referring to?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am getting the below error message in excel when i am double clicking on the measure value in a pivot view.This pivot view has bee created using Analyze in excel option in Power BI Service

 

Error Msg-"DirectQuery error: MDX/SQL operations are not supported in DirectQuery mode."

 

Thanks.

 

 

Hi there

Thanks for the error message.

What it means is that you cannot connect with Excel to a DirectQuery data source.

Analyze in Excel only works with Imported datasets. Or if you have got an Analysis Services that you can access directly not via the Power BI Service.
