Is it possible to connect Power BI with SSAS Cube?

Hi,

 

Today is my first day with Power BI and trying to find some information, if is it possible to connect Power BI with SSAS Cube. (not refereing to Tabular Mode)

 

Thanks,

There is a distinction that needs to be made here.

Yes - you can "connect" to your SSAS multidimensional cube in PBI Desktop

No - you can't "explore" or create a live connection to your SSAS Multidimensional model.

Essentially, you can see your objects in the cube and pull the data in, but there are no relationships. So you essentially have to rebuild your cube in the PBI Desktop.

HI - I was going to connect PBI Desktop to the TFS cube...is the below still true - that I can connect to the cube, but I'll have to recreate it?

Live connection to SSAS Multidimensional and SSAS Tabular is supported with the Enterprise Gateway.

Hi, no, for now you cannot connect to a SSAS Multidimensional cube.
