Sql-server – Can’t deploy SSAS Tabular Model in Visual Studio

I had a similar scenario and used the following DAX query...

First, to make it simple, I defined a measure to use inside the DAX so I don't have to repeat the formula. Then I used the generate to iterate on the TOPN formula:

define measure TableInTabular[NameOfTheMeasure] = COUNTAX(FILTER('Stats', ISBLANK([DeactDate]) = TRUE), 1)
evaluate
 (
  addcolumns
   (  
    filter
     (  
      generate
        (  
         VALUES(DatesTableName[Month]),  
         TOPN (10, VALUES(TableInTabular[ParentID]),TableInTabular[NameOfTheMeasure],0)
        ),
        TableInTabular[NameOfTheMeasure]>0
      ),
      "ActiveCount (or how you want to call this Column)",
      TableInTabular[NameOfTheMeasure]  
    )  
 )  
order by DatesTableName[Month] asc, 
TableInTabular[NameOfTheMeasure] desc

With the above you should have a top 10 ParentID and the Measure by each month. just replace the "TableInTabular" with your tabular table name where you have the data and the "DatesTableName" with the name of the dates table.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question and hope it helps...

That is correct. Forward compatibility is guaranteed. Backwards compatibility does not exist^*. Having 4 different BIDS/SSDT instances on a machine is a pain I've known all too well but there's not much you can do.

There are ways of constructing SSIS packages such that your solution can target whatever version of SQL Server will be hosting them but that's installing, purchasing and learning a separate product (Mist).
