Question

I'm using Visual studio 2022 & creating a tabular model but not able to connect to Azure Data lake blob storage - not even able to see that connector & attaching the screenshot of the connector image.
Compatibility level of the SSAS Tabular model: 1500

Working with Latest VS 2022. Please help me understand as this link shows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-datasource#tab1400a there is an option to connect but I dont have it

Answer 1

It's possible you have an older model version. If I create a model with the older compat level, I see those options that you see above. If I create a model with the new compat level (you can change the default in Tools > Options > Tabular Model Designer) or on your existing project, you get the modern data experience (the one that looks like Power BI) for connections instead.

Hi Aravind K Pachaiyappan

As Greg pointed out, the issue you are experiencing is due to compatibility level.
it seems like you are using Compatibility level 1200.

I was able to repro the issue from my end. When I choose the compatibility level - 1200, I see the same options that you see.

But when I use the compatability level 1400 or 1500 or 1600, I see the ADLS connection.

With compatibility level -1200:

With compatibility level -1400 or above

I hope this helps.
