SSAS Tabular Model on Azure VM

Question

I have an Azure VM with SSAS Tabular Model.
I understand that using Virtual Network it can be accessed from On-Premise.
But is it possible to access it using DAX queries without creating Virtual Network?

Answer 1

Short answer: No - you need a Virtual Network in this scenario (link)

Long answer: Maybe. It might be possible to use HTTP Access to SSAS via IIS but I've never tried it nor have I come across any blogs/whitepapers where it has been tried.

Is there a specific reason why you want to avoid setting one up? It really does make things much easier in Azure.

Answer 2

we use an HTTP proxy Just set up as normal but remember to configure an endpoint on the TCP and SSAS ports in AZURE
