Q: How do you measure BI success?

“Overall adoption has been static since 2008, with under 30% of potential users making use of BI.” - Gartner BI Adoption Trends, 2011

Why? Both approach and toolsLow buy-inBottom-up modelling/requirements gatheringLack of agility in traditional architectures/tools

Business Case

What is PowerPivot?

High speed, columnar, in-memory data storage and calculation engineIt is actually SQL Analysis Services (SSAS)Three forms

PowerPivot in ExcelPowerPivot for SharePointSSAS Tabular

What is Power View?

Browser-based Silverlight application launched from SharePoint 2013 (and 2010)

Provides intuitive, visual ad-hoc reporting aimed at business users

In Excel 2013 Power View is built in

Ok .. Where to Start?

We need a way to connect to a TABULAR model

So, we need one of these in SharePoint:Excel workbook containing a PowerPivot model.BISM connection to Tabular SSAS or PPVT.RSDS connection to Tabular SSAS or PPVT

I’ll explain as we go on

Scenario 1 – Excel + PPVT + Power View Embedded

Scenario 2 – Power View in SharePoint Directly Connected to SSAS Tabular

“I Don’t Live in the Future”, you say?

Power View has been out for 6 months as Part of SQL 2012

You can deploy this now if you add the following to your SharePoint 2010 farm:

Excel ServicesPowerPivot Integration (from SQL 2012)Power View integration (from SQL 2012 Reporting Services)

Do not need to upgrade SharePoint Content/Admin DBs

Limitations of Current Power View

No drilldownNo pie slicesNo Bing Map integrationNo support for KPIs and Hierarchies from the modelSilverlight = no formal mobile support even in SP 2013

Technical Requirements for Power View

Power View v1 Power View v2

SQL Server • SQL 2012 • SQL 2012 with SP1

SharePoint • SP 2010 with SP1• Excel Services• PowerPivot Services• SSRS 2012 Integration• Power View Integration

• SharePoint 2013• Excel Services• PowerPivot Services• SSRS 2012 Integration• Power View Integration

Authoring (Power User)

• Excel 2010 + PowerPivot Add-in

• Excel 2013

Authoring (Developer)

• SQL Server Data Tools SQL Server Data Tools

SSRS is now a proper Service Application in SQL 2012

Compatibility Considerations?

You can upgrade existing PowerPivot workbooks in Excel 2013 and deploy them to SharePoint 2013

You can use Power View in SharePoint 2010 (i.e. v1) to report against Excel 2013 models with the usual limitations

However, PowerPivot Models built in Excel 2013 will not work in SharePoint 2010
