Currently it's not possible to show the member properties of a dimension. For creating reports some of the metadata is stored in member properties and needed for reporting questions.

RE: member properties ssas

In our cubes handling financial data we, for different god reasons, store the meaningfull descriptive texts for dimension members in a properties and without being able to render those properties as labels in the ui we can't use power bi. Prefered would be to be allowed to concatinate properties like property1 + " - " + property2

The Cube.AttributeMemberProperty M function is poorly documented and does not seem to work at all.

Please either provide valid examples of use - ex with intrinsinc member properties - or fix this function.

In my context, multidimensional cubes are the main source of data for Self-Service BI users, and we need PowerQuery to better handle this source type.

You can access member properties by using a direct MDX query, although this is not suitable for non technical staff.

Showing properties would tie in nicely with tooltips, at least in our case.

RE: member properties ssas

I have Latitude/Longitude information as member attributes of a level of a geographical hierarchy and I can't seem to expose them to the map Lat/Long fields in PowerBI desktop. The ability to do so would be very convenient.

Any ideas?
