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
This feature would also Power BI SSRS get. This seem to be such a essential feature when connecting live to SSAS.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Any updates?
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Why can you add an MDX Calculated Measure in Excel 2016 using the OLAP Tools when Live Connected to a cube but you can not do this in Power BI? I would like to see the same OLAP Tools available in Power BI for live connections to cubes.
Thank you.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
We need this urgently
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Hi, I really really need this. My originally vote was for this, not for Tabular Model. I have been waiting since lot time ago. Our datasets are too large for Tabular. MDX is right for us. We need to create calculated measures like other software does. Do it soon.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Really need this feature asap. Please update this and let us know when on the horizon this will be addressed. With large, high volume dbs, we need to use MDX cubes and we need to do some minor calculations on the fly to be considered business "intelligence".
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
I am opting out from Power BI. Enough waiting on you. I feel, tableau is still lot better. Spent too much on power Bi License without the tool actually being useful and trusting this feature gonna be released very soon.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Have to agree with everyone on this, my vote on the original thread was for MDX cube calculated measures. We are now also nearly 3 months after the Tabular release and this idea hasn't even been put under review?
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
Any update on when this will work with Multi-Dimensional Models? It currently works with Tabular models but it is super important that is work with all models as it does in Excel. This would accelerate the usage of Power BI in my organization.
RE: Calculated measures when live connected to MDX cubes
really strange that this is still a hard showstopper...from technical side there shouldn't be any challenges doing the same like available already for tabular for MD? Tools like https://www.xlcubed.com/ can do that since Long time and works great
