    In the October, 2016 release, you've added the ability to create GROUPS in bar graphs and tables, and to 'bin' measures. This is great functionality. However, it is not supported in a LIVE SSAS connection. Please add this functionality to this connection.

    *goes through the SSAS & Power BI build out frame by frame*

    If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two. It's right now! When I realize that I will have to micro-manage grouping, dimensions and other functions for my users when they should be able to do it themselves.

    Yes, Please allow me to bin a datetime.. Also update your documentation so that it explicitly calls out that this will NOT work. I banged my head against this for too long.

    Would definitely be good to have this feature over Live SSAS connections so one doesn't have to build every small thing into the SSAS model itself. Sometimes some groupings are only needed in 1 report so having to add a grouping into the model is an overkill.
