How to: Create an Analysis Services Project Using the Analysis Service Project Template
In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS), you can create a new project in Business Intelligence Development Studio by using the Analysis Services Project template. Creating a new project by using the Analysis Services Project template creates an empty project in which you define Analysis Services objects that you can then deploy to into a new Analysis Services database (or overwrite an existing Analysis Services database).

Open the New Project dialog box, do one of the following:
- On the File menu, select New, and then select Project.
