Business Intelligence training - SSAS - Tabular Model

SSAS Training

SSAS Tabular Model training course

£695 + VAT for most venues (£795 + VAT for London)

2 days

For anyone who is familiar with relational databases, tabular models in Analysis Services are easier to create and use than the old multi-dimensional cube models; plus they use DAX as a language, rather than the harder-to-understand MDX. Tabular models are a natural extension of PowerPivot within Excel.

This course will show you (among other things): how to create tabular models by combining tables from SQL Server, Access, Excel and other data sources; how to create DAX calculated columns and measures to extend your data mode; and how to extract data from these models using clients such as Excel pivot tables.

This course runs in SQL Server 2016, but will be appropriate if you're using SQL Server 2012, 2014 or 2017 too.  If you're in any doubt about the differences between the various SQL Server versions, ask us!
