Course Overview
The Microsoft course Implementing a Tabular Data Model by Using SQL Server Analysis Services is designed for BI developers, data engineers, and analytics professionals preparing for Exam 70-768: Developing SQL Data Models. This course covers the end-to-end implementation of tabular semantic models using SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), focusing on data modeling, DAX expressions, and performance optimization. Target roles include BI Developer, Data Warehouse Developer, and Analytics Engineer—positions in high demand as enterprises increasingly adopt Microsoft’s analytics stack. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies leveraging Microsoft BI tools, mastering tabular modeling ensures professionals can meet the growing need for scalable, secure, and high-performance analytical solutions.
Students engage with core Microsoft technologies including SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), Visual Studio with the Analysis Services Projects extension, Azure Analysis Services, and Power BI. Hands-on labs are conducted in the Visual Studio integrated development environment, where learners build a complete tabular model using real-world data from the AdventureWorksDW database. The lab work includes importing data, defining relationships, creating calculated columns and measures using DAX, implementing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), configuring partitions, and setting up role-based security. A key project involves deploying the model to an Azure Analysis Services server, enabling secure, cloud-based access for reporting tools like Excel and Power BI, simulating enterprise deployment scenarios.
This course prepares learners for the MCSA: SQL 2016 BI Development certification, a widely recognized credential that validates expertise in enterprise data modeling. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with BI Developers earning median salaries exceeding $95,000 in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Microsoft courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of complex modeling concepts.
