This two-day classroom course covers the Tabular modeling in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2016/2017 and includes a large number of demos that each student can try on his own notebook to make practice with Tabular modeling and administration. Most of the topics are valid also for versions 2012/2014.

No knowledge of previous versions of Analysis Services (Multidimensional) is required, because Tabular is based on different concepts and on the DAX language (instead of MDX). You will also learn the differences between the two technologies (Tabular and Multidimensional) and when to choose one over the other.

After this classroom course, you should attend the Mastering DAX Workshop in order to learn how to write complex measures and queries using the DAX Language, which is just shortly introduced in the SSAS Tabular Workshop course. This classroom course was refreshed in 2016 and covers all the new features introduced by Analysis Services 2016 and 2017.
