    Don't SSAS Tabular and Power BI both use the xVelocity (vertiPaq) engine? If so, what are the advantages of using SSAS Tabular vs. Power BI and vice versa?

    I'm not an expert on SSAS, so I can't answer that part, but PowerBI lets you build a quick star schema and start analyzing data immediately. SSAS can do things like data security etc. It's not either/or. You can start with Power BI and upsize later to SSAS.

    here's an article that might help a little.

    Here's a video by Rob Collie/Avi Singh on PowerPivot/PowerBI to SSAS.

    the big thing, I think, about SSAS is that it can handle much bigger models and you get security built in.
