Key benefits

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

Description

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.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

Great book to get started with tabular modeling. Must have resource for any professional Microsoft BI designer/ developer looking to get most out of SSAS tabular modeling, DAX measures and introduction to Power BI.

Here's a message to Packt's genius marketing... I have purchased FAR less of your books because for some asinine reason you don't allow me to preview the book on Amazon. If I can't look at a few chapters, I ain't buying that d@nm thing.
