Hi All,
Does anyone if is possible to publish dasboards with Power BI using SQL Analysis Services as Data Source for connecting to a multidimensional cube and Direct Query as Connection Method?
I am able to create dashobards using mentioned Data Source and Connection Method with Power BI Desktop but get a gateway issue when viewing these dashboards in our Power BI site ( all dashboards are empty because of connection issues) . I tried to install a gateway as suggested but same problem still persists.
According to below link SQL Server Analysis Services is not allowed with Direct Query as connection method but looks a bit strange because I already used succesfully this solution both in Pyramid BI and Tableau
https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/power-bi/desktop-directquery-data-sources
Because of nature of our business we would need to use Direct Query as connection Method and not Import method due to with Import Method we would need to manually update dashboards to show daily new info added to our multidimensional cube and this is far away to be a feasible solution for us.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Regards,
Manuel
