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
Please include creation of Dax measures when connected to an Multidimensional Cube. It would be extremely helpful.

Calculated measures are a super common extension of multidimensional data! Why does Power BI not support this feature?!? Welp, back to Excel for me!

I think the most frustrating aspect of this is that my users had access to this functionality in EXCEL when connected to OLAP cubes.
