RE: Custom and Named Sets support

This is a key requirement since ..
A lot of Power BI customers are reluctant or unable to migrating there Multi dimensional cubes to Tabular Models.
So connecting to a named set, e.g. Top 10 Products within a SSAS MD Cube from Power BI is a frequent requirement.

RE: Custom and Named Sets support

Yes please. My company defines named sets in the cubes but these are not recognized in Power BI

Named Set and Hierarchical Slicers seem like a must

RE: Custom and Named Sets support

There is lot of stuff which is part of NamesSets so there should be support in PowerBI.

RE: Custom and Named Sets support

Common requirement for my users are dashboards/reports with rolling 3 months figures. This feature was closed for Excel, and PowerBI doesn't support either. https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/619958/named-set-cannot-be-used-as-filter-when-browsing-a-cube-in-excel

RE: Custom and Named Sets support

We are using sets in cubes and it would be great if we could detect and use these set in a Power BI dashboard
