Provide the ability to create a new report or upload or create a new Excel file which is live connected to a SSAS data source. For new reports the ideal would be to have a new option once clicked the GetData button and proceed at the same way you can actually do using AS Connector.

I agree. This is a crucial feature. I posted a similar idea at https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11040396-add-ability-for-excel-workbooks-to-have-a-live-con. Please vote on my idea as well. Thanks.

This is a critical capability to be able to have Excel DirectQuery to SSAS cubes through the EGW like PBI does today.
