title: Power BI Slow with SSAS Multidimensional Cube
body: <p>We are implementing Power BI with SSAS Cube Direct Query. For some reason, SSAS Power BI is extremely slow performance, however using SSDT SSAS Application or Power View or Excel is Much faster.</p>
  
  <p>I read that Power BI converts SSAS Multidimensional models by converting MDX to a DAX query.  Is there any method to speed up Power BI queries for SSAS, or use MDX queries directly? </p>
  
  <p><em>We are applying SSAS Multidimensional model.</em></p>
