You might constantly see a warning message that appears like the one below when creating Analysis Services Tabular projects. It basically says, workspace database server ‘ServerName’ was not found.

You’ll have to change this setting from the model properties. The server should be an Analysis Services Server running in Tabular mode.

You’ll have to deal with this every time. It’s such a pain. Right? Fixing it for good is easy. Simply click on Tools, go to Options and expand Analysis Services. Change default workspace server and default deployment server to an Analysis Services server instance that’s running in tabular mode.
