Visual Studio 2012 SDT - Tabular Model Designer Issue

I'm trying to create a Tabular Model using Visual Studio 2012 Server Data Tools. I made my install using Multidimensional Schema because I've some reports that are reading data from cubes.

But I want to try the Tabular Model but without disconnect my cubes...

When I start the Tabular I receive the following message:

"The workspace database localhost is not running tabular mode"

I already read some "solutions" but I'm not getting how can I solve this problem.

Here is the screen with the error:

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!

Solution

  • If you need to continue developing other Multidimensional SSAS models and deploying them to the existing SSAS instance then you can always run the SQL install media and install a new instance of SSAS, this time in Tabular model.

    Or if you don't need the existing SSAS Multidimensional instance you can change it to Tabular following these instructions by Cathy Dumas.
