I have no SQL Server Data Tool in Visual Studio 2013.
SSDT should be included in VS2013? Source
How can I install them?
I tried to install BI for VS 2013 but still don't have any SQL functions in VS.
Make sure Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools is checked when you install VS.
SQL tools like schema comparison are in SQL menu. SQL menu is not visible till any database project OR .scmp file OR file where its context is available is open.

Update
Got this link on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
Download latest VS2013 Update 2 through extension update or by link http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
For SSDT-BI for VS 2013 install:

after installation restart Visual studio.
Lets hope, it should work then.
I don't have SQL menu, however I found it in Tools -> SQL Server

I have installed SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio Professional 2015. So, does that mean it already has SSMS pre-installed with it, or it needs to be done separately.
My need is: Report generation using SSMS, from data coming from query behind SQL Server.
So, what needs to be exactly done to configure SSMS into SQL Server with VS 2015.
Upon deep diving even more, got the answer.
Option One: Google for 'SQL Server Data Tools' installer, compatible with your VS. Run the Installer.
Option Two: Open Visual Studio 2015 - Tools > Extension and Updates. Find/Search for 'SQL Server Data Tools' update option. Run it.
I'm still not sure if there comes a complete package of Visual Studio along with Data Tools, but I don't think it does. As we still need to add certain packages into VS Installer as per need.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013, SQL Server 2014. I want to learn MSBI, so I have installed the SQL Server Data Tools from here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt429392.aspx
After the installation process, I coudn't find the SSDT from the start menu.
But it shown in the control panel:
And when I check in Visual Studio, there it is also not available.
I posted this answer may help someone. The credits goes to Prabhat G
Go to services.msc and check if you can see SQL SERVER INTEGRATION SERVICES.
If the service not available there, then installation is corrupted.
Download and install from the link I've given below
microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=42313
It works fine for me.
not sure if this helps, but i tried opening a new project in visual studio 2013 instead of visual studio 2012 and found the ssdt tools
I have a new laptop with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise and SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.1 installed on it. I want to develop SSIS & SSRS projects using this setup, but I am having a hard time getting the Business Intelligence templates to show up in VS.
I installed the SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2015 from here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx
This installation seemed to work, but the BI templates still did not appear in VS.
After this was installed, I started up the SQL 2016 installation again to see if I could add this as a feature in the installation. It was not an option in the Feature Selection area. I tried both the "Perform new installation of SQL" and "Add feature to an existing instance" options during the setup wizard.
What am I missing here? In doing some research, it seems like these BI templates should be available for VS 2015. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates... Under the Updates tab, you'll find Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Update.
SSDT is updated separately from SQL Server itself. In the past, SSDT BI was a separate project as well. Integrating both toolsets is a work in progress. The latest SSDT version is the November 2015 preview which supports SSIS, SSAS, SSRS for SQL Server 2016 preview but only SSAS, SSRS for previous versions.
SSDT doesn't actually require SQL Server, only Visual Studio, and will install no matter which version of SQL Server you have installed (if any).
I found the solution in another forum. This issue has to do with using the "preview" version of SQL 2016. Use this link to download the SSDT for this version:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt429383
Hope this helps someone else...
In VS 2015:
Select Tools -> Extensions & Updates
A console opens. On the LHS, you will see 3 tabs - Installed, Online & Updates
Select Updates -> Product Updates -> Choose Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Update.
I'm getting this error while importing bacpac file from windows azure
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Count not load schema model from package. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Internal Error. The internal target platform type SqlAzureDatabaseSchemaProvider
does not support schema file version '2.5'.
Most of the help online suggests upgrading SSDT, but I have the latest version of SSDT for VS2012 already installed
Update - with a number of new features including Query Store, it's now best to use the SQL Server Management Studio Preview to import. In some cases this will be necessary given updated features in the bacpac file. You can install this from its download page. On that download page choose "Download SQL Server Management Studio Preview" to install.
Original Answer
The best solution is to install SQL Server Management Studio 2014 from the Express download page. On that download page choose "MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe" installer when clicking the download link. SSMS 2014 contains a more recent DacFx version that supports version 2.5 and has full support for SQL Server 2005-2014 dbs, along with Azure DBs.
A few notes on DacFx / SqlPackage:
Installing the latest SSDT won't fix the issue since SSDT no longer installs Dac DLLs in a shared location. Instead it installs them under the Visual Studio install dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\DAC\120).
To update DacFx binaries used in SSMS to the latest version you must install the DacFramework.msi directly. You can download the latest version for 2014 here (this will update the location used by SSMS 2014), or if you have to use SSMS 2012 the last version compatible with that is found here.
SqlPackage.exe does support bacpacs. You need to use the Import/Export actionsfor bacpacs rather than the Extract/Publish actions used for dacpacs.
It will not directly restore. As you already install "SQL Server Data Tools", please check links.

It looks to me that something has recently changed Azure side to break even using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. I had to install the Cumulative Update 5 onto SQL Server 2014 Management Studio to get this working again. Looks like Cumulative Update 6 is out so you could also try that.
I've updated my SQL Server 2012 with SP2 and then I could actually Import BACPAC files from Azure. You can try that.
I understand that this has been there for a while but those who have still this problem, this happens because of having an older version of Microsoft® SQL Server® Data-Tier Application Framework.
Installing the latest version solved the problem.
At the time I am writing this is the latest and I was using an older which was incompatible with the bacpac file I was trying to import.

I'm running Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Premium on Windows 7, and am trying to create SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Reports. I've downloaded the new SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027 and installed/restarted. If I go into VS Help->About, I can see "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 10.3.20225.0" in the list of installed products. However, SSDT doesn't seem to be showing up in the "New Project" window, and if I try to open existing SSRS 2005 reports projects (created in BIDS/VS 2005) it says "'Reports.rptproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.rptproj) is not supported by this version of the application. To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project".
Am I incorrect in my impression that VS/SSDT does not require SQL Server being installed? Is there some other software, package, or step that I'm missing in installing SSDT?
For SQL Server 2012 SSRS, the functionality of BIDS is REPLACED by SSDT. If you are working with SQL Server 2008 R2 (or earlier) SSRS, then you'll want to use BIDS from that version of SQL Server.
When you install SSDT, it includes templates for BI projects (i.e. SSAS, SSIS, SSRS). SSDT can be installed as a stand-alone application, or, if you have VS2010 SP1 on your machine, then SSDT will install inside of VS2010.
For the OLTP (including offline) database projects, there is NO template. Rather there is a new View named 'SQL Server Object Explorer'. For more about the latter, see my blog post.
The new project type is found under Other Languages->SQL Server-> SQL Sever Database Project.
Do not confuse that with the old to be deprecated projects under Database->SQL Server->Advanced
The BIDS part of SSDT is sort of a separate install. (although they've tried making it seem like one install.) See this on information about why one or the other might not be installed:
