I use SQL Server 2012 Express and SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (I don't know if both are necessary, I saw that in a tutorial) and I want to add the feature Analysis Services. I ran the Setup.exe and in "feature selection" the option Management Tools - Basic was selected. I tried to connect to Analysis Services like this:

SQL Server Management Studio -> File menu -> Connect Object Explorer -> Server type

where it is supposed to be the option Analysis Services but there is the default and unique option "Database Engine".

Can someone help me?

  • Read the system requirement also. as it will solve your problem. You also need sql server analysis server ... which mean you have to install sql server standard edition atleast – Abdul Hannan Ijaz Jan 06 '16 at 10:46

Install this completely with all features or atleast features related to analysis services Download Link

  • One more question, I read that I can move a database from a server to another via Copy Database Wizard. But Copy Database Wizard is not available in the Express edition. This means that I cannot move my database from Express edition to the server downloaded from your link above? – konna.papag Jan 06 '16 at 11:27
  • Take backup of your database and then on new server use restore wizard to restore your database. – Abdul Hannan Ijaz Jan 06 '16 at 11:30
