Introducing a Modern Get Data Experience for SQL Server vNext on Windows CTP 1.1 for Analysis Services
Starting with SQL Server vNext on Windows CTP 1.1, Analysis Services features a modern connectivity stack similar to the one that users already appreciate in Microsoft Excel and Power BI Desktop. You are going to be able to connect to an enormous list of data sources, ranging from various file types and on-premises databases through Azure sources and other online services all the way to Big Data systems. You can perform data transformations and mashups directly into a Tabular model. You can also add data connections and M queries to a Tabular model programmatically by using the Tabular Object Model (TOM) and the Tabular Model Scripting Language (TMSL). The modern Get Data experience is adding exciting data access, transformation, and enrichment capabilities to Tabular models.
