Has SSAS Multidimensional changed since SQL Server 2008 R2?

  • I've noticed that since SQL Server 2012, SSAS's focus has been pretty much exclusively into developing tabular mode. My question is: has anything changed significantly for SSAS Multidimensional mode since SQL Server 2008 R2? I haven't had a chance to take a look at SQL Server 2016 but I'm curious.

  • No significant changes as far as I know. There's obviously been some tweaks, but no earth-shattering new features.

    DIVIDE in MDX and the ability to get around the 1GB string limit in dimensions. Some under the covers stuff to do with threading: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/psssql/2012/01/31/analysis-services-thread-pool-changes-in-sql-server-2012/

    An extended events GUI in 2016 I think.

    Slim pickings 😀
