This continuing saga proves to be epic as usual! 4/27/2013 4:00:00 PM 4/27/2013 5:00:00 PM 14062 Javier Guillen BI (Auditorium 1) Room: 1102 Although BISM Tabular is a powerful analytical engine that can efficiently link data across multiple sources, it is common to get stuck when attempting to connect tables and generate calculations to leverage all sources in a single model. Many issues regularly encountered by BI developers (and data analysts when using PowerPivot) can be attributed to violations of one or more of the relationship rules of the Tabular engine. It is necessary to understand those rules in order to handle increasingly complex semantic modeling requirements. On this session, attendees will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles which must be followed to develop effective models in BISM Tabular as well as PowerPivot. 4/27/2013 12:00:00 PM 4/27/2013 1:00:00 PM 14092 Bradley Ball DBA (Auditorium 2) Room: 1202 The more you know about SQL Server the more you understand how it works.
