which model should you use, Multidimensional vs Tabular? Well, there is no clear-cut answer, but there are some factors that can make you choose one over the other: If you want to use DAX, you have to use Tabular If you want to use Power View, you have to use Tabular If your dataset is extremely large, go with Multidimensional If you need writeback support, you have to use Multidimensional If you need access to many different external data sources, choose Tabular If you need complex calculations, scoping, and named sets, choose Multidimensional If you need extreme speed and consistently fast query time, choose Tabular If you need Many-to-Many relationships, choose Multidimensional (can be done in Tabular but difficult) If your solution requires complex modeling, choose Multidimensional If you need any of the following features, you must use Multidimensional: Actions, Custom Assemblies, Custom Rollups, Custom Drillthrough Actions (but BIDS Helper adds support for action...
