Analysis Services
Analysis Services SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is an online analytical data engine used in decision support and business analytics SSAS supports two modelling modes—multidimensional and tabular The multidimensional mode also includes a data mining engine It provides analytical data for business reports and client applications such as: Reporting Services reports, Power BI, Excel, and other third-party data visualization tools
Analysis Services One Semantic Model—Two Ways to Develop Tabular models Multidimensional models Tables and relationships Fast by design with in-memory Easy to get started and simple Dimensions and measure groups Highly scalable and mature Feature rich and complex
Analysis Services Use SSDT to create BI semantic models CLIENT TOOLS 3rd party applications Excel SSRS paginated reports SSRS mobile reports Power BI Desktop PowerBI.com BI SEMANTIC MODEL Use SSDT to create BI semantic models Queries MDX/DAX (all model types) Data model Multidimensional Tabular Business logic MDX DAX Data access MOLAP ROLAP VertiPaq DirectQuery DATA SOURCES Relational databases LOB applications Cloud services Analytics Platform System
Analysis Services SQL Server 2016 New Features SQL Server 2016 SSAS includes many new features: New tabular features: Parallel processing of multiple table partitions New DAX functions, and DAX variables New tabular compatibility level (1200) Calculated tables Bi-directional cross filters Display folders, to organize model elements into logical groups Translations, to view models in a preferred language DirectQuery enhancements Improved SSDT modeling performance, thanks to TMSL (introduced later) Several enhancements for multidimensional models And many more…
Analysis Services SQL Server 2016 Support by Edition SSAS 2016 is supported by Enterprise and Standard editions For non-production use, it is also supported by Developer and Evaluation editions Compute and memory capacities are limited in Standard edition Standard edition does not support specific features
