In May 2017 Power BI Desktop started supporting creation of DAX measures when working in live connect mode to an external SSAS model: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/
Vote on this idea if you want support for calculated measures against multidimensional models too.

RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
We need this functionality urgently
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Hey, MS guys, how many votes you need?How much more time must pass?
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
We need better support for MDX cubes in Power Bi.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
I am evaluating PowerBI, I don't believe that this function is not enabled yet. Power BI is not a real BI Tool, disappointed
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
This is th main reason why we can't use powerbi.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
any update for this
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
We still need this functionality! I've had to roll back to old versions of Power BI Desktop in order to preserve this feature.
This is essential when Power BI developers are building reports based on SSAS MD, where changes to the cube take way too long to implement (needing tickets, meetings, approvals, etc.). Give us back our agility!
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Any update on this please ?
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Yes please, same experience as commenters below.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
MOST NEEDED FEATURE FOR ALL SSAS USERS ( MIGRATING TO TABULAR MODEL IS HORRIBLE (THERE IS NO MIGRATION SUPPORT TOOL FROM MS ) AND THERE ARE STILL TOO MANY UNSUPPORTED FEATURES) --> EXCEL HAS A BETTER CUBE SUPPORT --> WE REALLY LIKE PBI (EVEN on THE PBI RS) (HOW MANY VOTES ARE NECESSARY THAT MS SUPPORTS USERS WITH GOOD SOLUTIONS ?)
