Introduction to SQL 2012 Tabular Modeling By Karan Gulati (SSAS Maestro)
Support Escalation Engineer in Microsoft for last 6 years Currently focusing more on SQL BI, SQL PDW & Big Data. Active blogger; contributed to multiple whitepapers which are published on MSDN or TechNet site Wrote tools available on CodePlex - ASTrace, Trace Scheduler, etc. Achieved highest certification in SQL BI World SQL Server Analysis Services Maestro (MCM)  About the Speaker @karangspeaks http://karanspeaks.com http://blogs.msdn.com/karang http://twitter.com/karangspeaks http://in.linkedin.com/in/karanspeaks

Three Ways to Model PersonaI BI Power Pivot for excel Team BI Power Pivot for Sharepoint Organizational BI Analysis Services Tabular or MOLAP
What’s the Tabular Hype All About? • In-memory database or xVelocity  Based on the relational methodology  Column-oriented database  Data is stored in a compressed format
Tabular Principle #1 Speed. Let user make changes without forcing reload.
Tabular Principle #2 So what does that mean?
Developing a Model Use the Visual Studio SQL Server Data Tools to build a BISM Open an existing PowerPivot Model using SSDT or Management Studio Deployment • Immediate changes implementation • at the SDDT • Use small DB for development
Tabular Principle #3 Anybody can develop a model
• What are the modeling options in SQL 2012 SSAS? • What is the new query language for tabular models? • What tools can you use for modeling? • What is xVelocity? • What tools can you use for reporting on tabular models? Trivia Questions
Summary If you are new to Analysis Services – go with Tabular Model Table-like modeling is easy to learn New Excel-like language called DAX
