Create offline file for PBI publisher in excel

[Anonymous]

I'm using PBI publisher to view data in excel, and it great.  is there a way to create an offline cache of the cube, so that I don't have to ping the cloud for each time I interact with the pivots.

I see that there's an option to create an "offline OLAP"  under Analyze/OLAP Tools.  When I try to create this offline data file[.cub file], I get a message saying"MS OLE provider for SQL Servier 2016 Analysis Services. This Analysis Services feature is not available with database compatibility level 1200 or higher"

I have no idea what this error message means.  I'm using Excel 2013, but I've tried Excel 2016 with the same result.

Thanks for any help.
