Connecting to 2008R2 Analysis Server Cube from PowerBI Desktop

‎07-05-2017 10:59 AM

Can we connect to 2008R2 Multi Dimensional Cube using PowerBI Desktop.

Also can we connect analysis services live if we have 2014 Developer Edition?

@PowerBIProUser,

 

Currently, one of the limitations to connect to SSAS cube is

  • SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services SP1 CU4 or later (Enterprise or Business Intelligence editions only)
