Reviews
“This is a great book for getting up and running quickly with the new tabular data model available in SQL Server Analysis Services 2012. I was able to read this book fairly quickly, good for a busy IT Professional. The book covers PowerPivot, PowerView, and the various ways to create the new tabular projects. If you are looking for something that will cover all aspects of the new tabular abilities in SSAS 2012, I’d recommend this book without hesitation.”

“I have had the chance to read Teo’s books over the years, and they happen to be insightful, detailed and more than anything, absolutely helpful. This one is no exception, and keeps the bar on tradition with the high quality you expect. Teo is one of those authors that I use to reference when after, one of my conferences, someone asks me for a good comprehensive book on Microsoft’s BI stack. Mix this one with Alberto and marco on DAX and you will be ready for some fun.”
