Moving Measures in a separate table (PBI & SSAS 2017 Live Connection)

Hi,

I’m using SSAS 2017 to store my tabular model.  As frontend I’m using Power BI Desktop Release March 2018.
Because in the meantime I have a huge amount of measures (stored in SSAS 2017 tabluar mode) I want to  structure and group them. Of course I could use display folders but I would rather prefer to a separate “measure table”.
From the PBI Desktop I already know that measures are “table inspecific”, so they can technically live anywhere. Furthermore, I know how to move measures between tables (or to a specific measure table) easily in Power BI.
But as far as I experienced it with the tabular model in SSAS this easy way is not possible. In fact, I have to cut out the measure from one table and paste it into the new location/table. Thus, actually I have to recreate them.
The disadvantage accompanied by this approach is that the connection to the moved measure gets lost in the PBI Desktop and I receive and error in my PBI report that the measure is not available anymore.

Is there any other way to move a measure in SSAS 2017 in the way you can do it in Power BI Desktop?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Dom
