News On SSAS Data Source Support In Power BI

Chris Webb's BI Blog

Yesterday we heard (again) that SSAS will be supported as a data source for cloud-based reports in Power BI. Today, in a session, two new important details on this emerged:

  • It will work with both Tabular and Multidimensional
  • It will connect as the user running the query, so SSAS security (eg dimension security) will work just the same as it does on-premises. No special setup will be needed; there were no details apart from the fact it will work using the EffectiveUserName connection string property.

I’m sure a lot of people will be interested to hear this…
