Hierarchies in Analyze in excel with Direct Query

Creating my first Direct Query Power BI report and testing Analyze in Excel.  I notice that none of my Hierarchies appear in Excel, even though they do when in Cached mode.  Have I done something wrong, or is that expected behavior?  I would like it to work.

Otherwise, I'm optimistic about this approach.

    Hi SHHargrove,

    Since I'm not very clear your issue, can you share some detail contents?

      In the images below, you'll see that the Product dimension in Power BI includes a "Products" hierarchy.  However in Excel (using Analyze in excel from the same Power BI dataset) the "Products" hierarchy does not appear.

        Hi SHHargrove,

         

        If you try to use the hierarchy which created at database, does it analysis in excel succeed? I think excel can't analysis the hierarchy columns which created in power bi.
