You are about to install Developing a SQL Server 2012 Tabular BI Semantic Model with Visual Studio 2010 (RTM Update) (Lab)

In this lab, you will develop a Tabular BI Semantic Model based on the AdventureWorksDW2012 sample database. Specifically it will allow the sales analysis of the reseller sales against sales quota. You will work with the entire development lifecycle including the creation of the project, the importing of data from both Microsoft SQL Server and a data feed data source, the enhancement of the model, and the definition of measures and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI). Once you have explored and tested the model you will enhance it with perspectives, partitions and a security role. Finally you will deploy the project to a Tabular instance of Analysis Services.
