Expert tabular modeling techniques for building and deploying
cutting-edge business analytical reporting solutions About This
Book * Build and deploy Tabular Model projects from relational data
sources * Leverage DAX and create high-performing calculated fields
and measures * Create ad-hoc reports based on a Tabular Model
solution * Useful tips to monitor and optimize your tabular
solutions Who This Book Is For This book is for SQL BI
professionals and Architects who want to exploit the full power of
the new Tabular models in Analysis Services. Some knowledge of
previous versions of Analysis services would be helpful but is not
essential. What You Will Learn * Learn all about Tabular services
mode and how it speeds up development * Build solutions using
sample datasets * Explore built-in actions and transitions in SSAS
2016 * Implement row-column, and role-based security in a Tabular
Data model * Realize the benefits of in-memory and DirectQuery
deployment modes * Get up to date with the new features added to
SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services * Optimize Data Models and
Relationships Usage In Detail SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS)
has been widely used across multiple businesses to build smart
online analytical reporting solutions. It includes two different
types of modeling for analysis services: Tabular and Multi
Dimensional. This book covers Tabular modeling, which uses tables
and relationships with a fast in-memory engine to provide state of
the art compression algorithms and query performance. The book
begins by quickly taking you through the concepts required to model
tabular data and set up the necessary tools and services. As you
learn to create tabular models using tools such as Excel and Power
View, you'll be shown various strategies to deploy your model on
the server and choose a query mode (In-memory or DirectQuery) that
best suits your reporting needs. You'll also learn how to implement
key and newly introduced DAX functions to create calculated columns
and measures for your model data. Last but not least, you'll be
shown techniques that will help you administer and secure your BI
implementation along with some widely used tips and tricks to
optimize your reporting solution. By the end of this book, you'll
have gained hands-on experience with the powerful new features that
have been added to Tabular models in SSAS 2016 and you'll be able
to improve user satisfaction with faster reports and analytical
queries. Style and approach This book takes a practical,
recipe-based approach where each recipe lists the steps to address
or implement a solution. You will be provided with several
approaches to creating a business intelligence semantic model using
analysis services.
