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
Only Tabular was included?!? I thought the May release was for either, I guess I was wrong. Really needed this for Multidimensional, just not getting any love...
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
MD should start to get the features at the same time as TB we MD customers are a allways being forgotten and we are the ones advocating MS products and SSAS
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Its disappointing that, we can not create Measures for Cubes live Connection. I thought, May release would make it possible.
Can you please let everyone know by when can we expect this? Coz, to bring "measures for SSAS tabular live connection", you took quite a long time.
All we need is an estimate time of release at this moment please. We need to answer other stake holders of our project for the same question.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Why is Tabular the first to get everything! It seems from reading comments MD is still heavily used?
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Has work on multidimensional been started or you are going to wait till it gathers votes?
I mean the original idea was for both multidimensional and tabular - and a lot of people might have voted for calculated measures on multidimensional already.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
This is the thing that will prevent us from moving off our current data visualization software. I don't want to lose live functionality or have to modify our cube every time we need to build a slightly modified calculation.
