format the data model in live connection

[MP_123]

hi,

i want to connect live to my ssas cube. the problem is memory. live connection is problematic because i cant format or edit the data model.

my idea is to create a "view" of my cube with the measure i want to add , and then to connect live. is there any option you know to do this?

thanks!

is there any way of convertion the cube to another data mmodel in which live connection enables formatting?

thanks!

Hi @MP_123,

Since you need to open a live connection to SSAS, we have to keep it in SSAS data source. We can't convert it into any other model. Currently, cell level formatting is not supported in current release. This feature will be enabled in the future. See:
