How to connect to PowerBI dataset not using conncted live

I would like to create Power BI dashboard using one PowerBi data set using the flow as below: 

>Click 'Get Data' > Click 'Power BI dataset '> Choose the dataset 

Then I can import the data sources , and there shows 'Connected live to the Power Bi dataset: XXXX(datasetname) in XXX(workspace name)' ,

But I can not add any measure on this dataset. I would like to create the measures from this data source. 

 

How should I treat this issue. Thanks a lot .
