Introduction

Data modeling is a critical process in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) development. It involves creating a conceptual model of your data, including tables, columns, relationships, and calculated fields, which will be used by the SSAS analysis services. Understanding the data model is essential for the functionality and efficiency of your analysis.

Data Model Overview

The data model defines the structure of your data. It includes tables, columns, data types, relationships, and constraints. A well-designed data model is the foundation of a successful SSAS project.
