SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is a Microsoft data analysis tool that enables the creation of multidimensional and tabular data models for business intelligence, data mining, and advanced analytics.
Use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to start a new Analysis Services Tabular Project. Define your data source, import tables, create relationships, and define measures using DAX.
Yes. Deploy your tabular model to Azure Analysis Services or to Power BI Premium. Both services support the same Tabular Object Model (TOM) and DAX expressions.
Partitions split large tables into smaller, manageable pieces that can be processed independently. This improves processing time and query performance for massive datasets.
Use Role-Based Security (RLS) with row-level filters and object permissions. Define roles in SSDT and assign Windows groups or Azure AD users.
