Question
According to the information on this page I was going to add Analysis Services to our instance of SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144275.aspx
We ran the SQL Server installer and selected "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server". On the Feature Selection screen we only noticed the following:
Instance Features
Database Engine Services
SQL Server Replication
Full Text.....
Reporting Services
Shared Features
SQL Server Data Tools
Documentation Components
Management Tools - Basic
SQL Client Connectivity SDK
Redistributable Features
The Analysis Services feature was not in this list of choices.
All help will be appreciated.
Solution
Express doesn't support Analysis Services
See here what is supported by each version http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
Analysis service is supported by the sql server 2012. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#SSAS
OTHER TIPS
I do not think the express editions have Analysis Services.
