Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will be using the WideWorldImportersDW
and WideWorldImporters
databases from Chapter 1, Analysis Services in SQL Server 2019. You should connect to the database with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). You will be using views created in Chapter 3, Preparing Your Data for Multidimensional Models. If you are starting with this chapter, you will need to apply the views from Chapter 3, Preparing Your Data for Multidimensional Models, to the WideWorldImportersDW
database before we start.
This chapter will also require the use of Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition to create the Analysis Service project. We will also be importing the Power Pivot model we created in Chapter 6, Preparing Your Data for Tabular Models, so have that to hand as well.
