title: Power BI Report Level Measures on Live query to OLAP cube
body: <p>I am new to Power BI world.</p>
  
  <p>In my company we have a connection to an OLAP cube, where we connect using a live query through Analysis Services.</p>
  
  <p>As the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-analysis-services-tabular-data" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Power BI documentation says</a>, on May 2nd, 2017 they added a feature to use report level measures but this approach <strong>does not work</strong> on multidimensional databases (yet).</p>
  
  <p>I need to replicate some Excel workbooks (where they use DAX functions) in order to use all the Power BI features where Excel has no power. </p>
  
  <p>Since I can't edit the queries, the relationships or create any kind of measures for this. How should I use a different approach to do these calculations that the Excel workbooks do?</p>
