My good friends Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari have published a second edition of the SSAS Tabular book that we wrote together a few years ago. It’s called “Tabular Modelling In SQL Server Analysis Services” and it covers pretty much everything you need to know about building models in SSAS 2016 Tabular. Although I didn’t have anything to do with preparing the second edition, it does include a few things I wrote for the first edition so I can’t pretend that this is an unbiased review – that said, I think it’s fair to say that everyone working with SSAS Tabular 2016 should have a copy of this book on their shelf. No-one knows SSAS Tabular better than Marco and Alberto and the chapters on engine internals and performance tuning are worth the price of the book alone. The only topic it doesn’t cover in detail is DAX, and of course if you want to learn DAX you should get a copy of Marco and Alberto’s equally brilliant book “The Definitive Guide To DAX”.
More details on the new book can be found in Marco’s blog post here and you can buy the book from Amazon UK here.
