  • With Azure Analysis Services you can scale your Power BI reports up to tens and hundreds of gigabytes of data. It is very fast in-memory database and analytical progressing engine with all the benefits of cloud scaling and security.
    In this episode I give you introduction to what Azure Analysis Services is and how can it scale your reporting solutions.
    Code sample: github.com/MarczakIO/azure4ev...
    In a short demo I will show you
    - What is Analysis Services and how it works?
    - What is Azure Analysis Services?
    - What is common data model and how it solves your BI reporting development challenges?
    - How to provision Analysis Services?
    - Quick demo of building models with Visual Studio
    - Quick demo of loading data to Power BI vs Analysis Services
    - Deploying Analysis Services models

    It was a nice video but I have some questions (coming from AWS background):
    1. Isnt the main purpose of Analysis Services and Tabular modeling to provide columnar compression? I would expect Azure Analysis services to be deployed on Azure SQL DWH to further compress the data since big data loads are, well, big
    2. Can Analysis Service be deployed on Postgres or MySQL? Or is it proprietory to Microsoft SQL db engine?
    4. Can Analysis Services also read directly from Parquet delta tables (or Spark dataframes)? Or does the data format always need to be CSV
    3. Can other BI tools like Qlik Sense or Tableau also connect to Azure Analysis Services?
    Would appreciate the response! Thanks

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 3 lety +3

      Great questions.
      1. AAS is a standalone service. It's not deployed on anything. While it's true that it is a part of SQL server family it's a separate columnar store in memory database.
      2. Not sure I understand here. It's PaaS so you don't worry what is it hosted on behind the scenes. If you are talking about on premises AAS, then yes, only SQL Server is the option as it is a product from SQL server family.
      3. Not yet. Check the list of available data sources here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-datasource?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556
      4. No idea. Not an expert on those, check their docs/websites :)

  • @sid0000009
    @sid0000009 Před 4 lety

    Thanks for the quick win videos. Do you think there is way AAS modelling could support Power BI reporting for data feeds which are more real time in nature. As I know all the Models needs to be refreshed either by Automation Services, REST API or Logic Apps. Data basically would sit inside in AAS Memory but source data changes would not be reflected unless refreshed?

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety +1

      Hmm tough question. Only way I'd think about be direct query connection to database, if you import then you need to refresh. But AAS allows partial refreshes so you can refresh quite often and quite rapidly so no issue here. Usually when source data changes ETL calls AAS to refresh related tables in the model.

    Hello Adam, I just watched this video for a second time. Thanks again. Do you have a video on the differences between the tabular model and the multidimensional model. I'm not so sure if we should choose Azure SQL Database (with Azure DW or not) + AAS or choose Sql Server on virtual machine with SSAS OLAP capabilities. I personally prefer tabular model because of my experience in SAP HANA, however, I need solid facts or points to help the team make the architecture decision, tabular model, why or why not? Thanks.

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety +2

      Thanks for checking it out. Well, most of the differences are explained here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/analysis-services/comparing-tabular-and-multidimensional-solutions-ssas?view=asallproducts-allversions but also keep in mind having platform to manage (SSAS) versus managed service (AAS) is additional cost and support. Also AAS will most likely get more and more new features. Key thing that I noticed is that multidimensional models don't have M expressions so you can't connect to as many sources as in tabular natively. AAS also has REST api which can be used for automation of refreshes and few other features. Seems like it's Microsoft's direction.

    • @terryliu3635
      @terryliu3635 Před 4 lety

      @@AdamMarczakYT thanks Adam for your reply. I feel too this ROLAP model within AAS is the direction of Microsoft in this area. I will check out the doc you shared above. Another quick question if you do not mind, do you know if the model within AAS can take variables or input parameters? e.g., in the model in HANA, modelers can defined variables or input parameters, users then can pass Current Year Month e.g., 202003 to the query to calculate YTD measures or apply filters using variables if for instance, they only need to extract records of certain company codes or years to Power BI. With AAS, do we have to load all the records from the in-memory model using live or acquire based connections?

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety

      Note that live connection is not loading any records to power bi. It's always generating query on the fly, if you put page or report level filter to 202003 then all queries will be executed for this month only and will only return results for that subset of data.

  • @sid0000009
    @sid0000009 Před 4 lety

    Thanks for your great videos. So in summary we have AAS or Power BI to create our models for reporting. Do you have any recommendations in which case we should use AAS and when we use Power BI considering AAS is quite expensive for big data sets. Thank you

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety +3

      This is spot on question, but the answer is longer so let me try to explain this in few sentences. In general I think it comes down to whenever Power BI can hold your dataset in memory. Power BI pro has up to 1GB memory and as soon as you start building reports which consume this you will get out of memory exceptions on your visualizations and experience major slowdown. Considering 5-100 (by the docs) and in reality 10-15 times compression rate of AAS tabular models we're talking here models containing 10-15GB of data. So not enough for big reporting solutions. At that point it's between AAS and Power BI premium, and that is another story since they have different features too. But cheapest available Power BI premium from the marketplace is $5,000 and cheapest AAS is $600 so for those medium sized reports it fits nicely. But still there are many more consideration between premium vs aas but in short regular power bi vs AAS is just size of the models.

    i have a question.. They say that Power BI Pro has a capacity of 4GB and Premium up to 10GB. Now, as you said, with Azure Analysis Services we get to scale up to 400GB.. So are all this capacities mentioned available in memory? like, after compression?

      As to your question, I'm not Power BI guru but I think your numbers are off, where did you get them? Last time I checked power bi premium has also maximum memory capacity of 400GB, it is also much more expensive than AAS because it provides additional features. As to second part of your question this is IN-MEMORY capacity, so a compressed model + cache for your user queries. So recommendation is to keep your model below 50% of maximum memory capacity.

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety +1

      AAS models are like in memory database designed for high frequency queries at very very high speed. Database view is just a query definition. Materialized view is query definition with cached result on the disk. Of'course this is simplification but in general this is how it is. Good question.

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 3 lety

      you can do that very easily using Tabular Editor, open power bi model > change address to AAS > deploy, or extract the model file and add this to visual studio, both will work just fine

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 3 lety

      yes, you can use devops to deploy AAS models, my largest project in AAS handled around 2 TB of data but that was a stretch already, I'd aim for 500GB maximum (before compression)

      It depends on the firewall settings and the location of the source that you are connecting to. If you have sources behind the firewall or in on-premises environment then you need a data gateway.

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 3 lety

      Normally I'd say it's possible looking at the Power BI Premium roadmap, but as it stands Today I'd say we're not there yet, there weren't even any rumors on it either. So probably not, lots of active development happens in AAS too. There are a few differences between them too.

  • @ajitkumar4684

    Hi Adam...With Power BI Premium capacity (Dataset connectivity with XMLA endpoint) I believe Azure Analysis Services will no longer be required to host the Tabular Models. If I develop a Tabular Model (using Visual Studio) and then just deploy it to a workspace in the Premium capacity, don't you think that AAS is no longer required in this case. Please suggest. Thank you

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety

      I'd say it's not so simple just yet. Maybe in future Power BI Premium will replace AAS but for now I say it's still not the case. Especially because of the limitations. For example, P1 which costs incredible amount of 4,999$ USD has only 25 GB of memory where AAS that costs 2,900 is already 50GB. But of'course those are different products because PBI Premium also grants volume read licenses and other cool features like embedding while AAS is simple backend engine only. In PBI Premium you can only have up to 10GB dataset after which you need to implement incremental loads, in AAS there is no such limitation. I could list many more items like this but I hope you get the idea. As of now, they are similar but still different products so they fit different scenarios.

    • @AdamMarczakYT
      @AdamMarczakYT  Před 4 lety

      I didn't say you can't. I said "... after which you need to implement incremental loads " which is exactly what is described in the video. But again it says up to memory capacity of Power BI premium so P3 is only 100GB and you need to leave about 20-50% to be able to cache queries. Also P3 is 20,000$ per month. With 24,000 you get AAS S9 capacity which is 400 GB memory. I'm not saying PBI premium is bad, just at this moment it's not a replacement of AAS for very very big models. But it has some nice features so often we combine the two.

      Hey, unfortunately there are too many variables. It might be networking issue or just slow AS model. You would need to perform full analysis using DAX studio/query profiler to understand this. You could potentially move your AS to AAS to ensure it's close to your power bi service so there would be no networking issues.

Then, no matter which version, I still didn't see it like in this video. VS Community 2017 or 2019, or Enterprise. Wow.

I’m not going to comment much on bloatware comment but in general bloatware for me is things that run in the background that slow down your PC.
