Discretization Buckets in Tabular

A little while ago I blogged about how to created discretization buckets in a multi-dimensional cube. The nice thing about it is that it was just a few properties that you needed to modify, and was pretty straightforward. To the flip side of that I see a lot of companies wanting to take advantage of the new tabular Analysis Services model and the performance you get from it. The good news is that you can do the same thing in tabular, but they're not properties you set. To set it up, first you'll need to identify what is going to create your buckets. Are you going to use a linked table? SQL view? Or maybe just a hard coded SQL Select statement.
