What If parameters are greyed out when the report is connected using a live SSAS connection, but it could be enabled, once we are able to create DAX measures on the report level.
Using a value from a What If parameter in a report measure connected to a live SSAS tabular model would bring a great value to our organization on simulation scenarios.

So much functionality is lost when connecting to Analysis Services even though this is the regarded as the best data source for Power BI. It is very limiting.

Microsoft please provide this functionality because if I calculate ratios in Tabular Model Power BI desktop does some crazy aggregations. Provide what if parameter with live connections so we can use to project ratios.
