Enable Tabular Model

Enables generation of a SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model and project for the dimensions and facts of a project during Build. A project scoped value overrides the instance level value. When disabled or blank, no Tabular output is produced.

The build evaluates this setting for each project. The project's target connection must have the system type MSSQL, SQLDB or SQLDW. For any other system type the build reports a warning and emits no model for that project. The Server and Database settings set the deployment target of the generated project, and Compatibility Level sets the level of the model.

When to Change This Setting​

Enable it for a project whose dimensions and facts should also be delivered as an Analysis Services Tabular model.
