Today one of my colleague started got one Change Request to add few attributes to a Tabular Model already deployed from a previous project. He installed Visual Studio and connected the Repository. But when he tried to load the Project it was giving following error:

Unsupported

No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.

I checked his Visual studio, opened a new Project and checked if the MS BI templates for SSAS, SSRS and SSIS are showing or not. You can check them below:

If those won’t show up then you need SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), which you can install from here.
