Is it possible to open an existing Azure Analysis Services Model in Visual Studio without having to deploy a new model and import data again? The only way I have been able to open an existing AAS model in visual studio is by the following steps: Open VS and Create new project Choose the template "Import from Server (Tabular)" Choose which server and which AAS model to import Although I get the model structure from this, the data has to be re-imported, and it also deploys a new model onto my Azure Analysis Services Instance.

Of course if you have the project on your machine : Go to File > Open > Project/Solution Navigate to the location where your AAS project ( .smproj ) is saved, select it and click Open .

Of course if you have the project on your machine :

Go to File > Open > Project/Solution

Navigate to the location where your AAS project (.smproj) is saved, select it and click Open.
