To get the most out of this book

This book is designed for those of you who are experienced working with data and analysis in their business. Most readers should have some experience with Excel or Power BI. Analysis Services is the next level of data analysis that uses the power of SQL Server 2019. This book will give you hands-on guidance, from installing tools to the basics of maintenance and operations.

In the first chapter of the book, we will walk through the installation of the SQL Server tools. However, you should plan to get Excel and Power BI Desktop downloaded so that you build reports and visualizations on the models you will create in the later chapters.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to copy/pasting of code.
