Importing in from SSAS Cube

I'm having trouble importing from an SSAS cube.  It just gets stuck at the "Evaluating" stage and nothing ever happens.  Any ideas?

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

It is the case that Power BI can only connect to SSAS Multidimensional Enterprise Edition (or BI Edition, though that has gone in SQL Server 2016):

You can vote to try to have that changed here:

Sorry...

I've just had a second confirmation from Microsoft that DAX queries are supported in SSAS 2016 Multidimensional Standard Edition, and someone I know has tested Power BI Desktop with the same configuration and he says it works (though I haven't tested it myself). Are you sure you're using the latest version of everything?

 

Regards,

 

Chris
