SSAS live connection formatting options

[naj]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to format a measure as a percentage using SSAS live connection? And in that case how?

It would be very convenient if Power BI would be able to consider the FORMAT_STRING property...is this coming to Power BI anytime soon?

Kind regards,

naj

@naj when connected live to SSAS you don't get any data modelling capabilities. Keep an eye on this idea here as when it will be allowed you will also have ability to format I believe.

Hi @naj

Currently, cell level Formatting and translation features are not supported in this release of SSAS MD. These features will be enabled in upcoming releases of Power BI Desktop. See: Limitations of SSAS Multidimensional Models in Power BI Desktop

You can vote the idea here mentioned by ankitpatira above.
