Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Analysis Services (SSAS)
The Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Analysis Services (SSAS) course provides a deep dive into the powerful data analysis and business intelligence capabilities of SQL Server 2019. Designed for data analysts, BI developers, and IT professionals, this course covers the essentials of building and managing multidimensional and tabular models using SSAS. Participants will learn how to create complex data models, design efficient data cubes, and deploy solutions that drive insightful business decisions.
Key Features:
- Multidimensional Model Design: Learn to design and deploy multidimensional models with OLAP cubes, including defining dimensions, measures, and hierarchies to analyze data from various perspectives.
- Tabular Model Development: Explore tabular data models to build scalable and high-performance solutions, utilizing data analysis expressions (DAX) to create complex calculations and business logic.
- Data Processing and Management: Understand how to process, manage, and refresh data within SSAS models, including scheduling data updates and handling data source changes.
- Performance Optimization: Discover techniques for optimizing query performance and improving the efficiency of SSAS models through indexing, partitioning, and caching strategies.
- Security and Permissions: Learn how to implement security measures to protect sensitive data, including configuring role-based security and managing permissions for users and groups.
- Integration with Power BI: Gain insights into integrating SSAS models with Power BI to enhance data visualization and reporting capabilities, and leverage SSAS as a data source for interactive dashboards.
- Data Analysis Expressions (DAX): Master DAX language to create advanced calculations, measures, and KPIs, enabling more sophisticated data analysis and reporting.
- Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Develop skills to troubleshoot common issues, monitor SSAS performance, and perform routine maintenance to ensure reliable and accurate data analysis.
This course is tailored for professionals looking to harness the full potential of SSAS for sophisticated data analysis and business intelligence, providing them with the tools to deliver actionable insights and support data-driven decision-making.
