Thank you, Steve, for the post, very new one to me.
(luckily, this article from the home page http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Power+View/119430/ helped me to understand the PV. New year as began with new stuff) 🙂

I have rarely used Power View ( only with SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition ) , I have tried to find the "good answer" only by deduction. I know that Power View is frequently used in conjunction with Excel , it is why I have chosen the proposed answer related to Excel.

Hello pmadhavapeddi22,
+1 for the link you provided. I have studied it and it seems simple to understand and a good one to begin Power View on my SQL Server 2014 Developer I am waiting.

The "correct" answer is somewhat naive, and rather misleading to say the least.
There are currently 12 ways of licensing Excel 2013 using an Office suite license (Office 2013, Office 365 2013 version, Office RT) as opposed to an individual Excel icense. Or these 12 ways, only 9 give access to power view. So let'w hope no-one takes teh anser as genuinely correct and rushes out to buy Office 2013 Professional and get power view without all the hassle of setting up sharepoint and so on, because they'll be sorely disappointed, they need at least Office 2013 Professional Plus (or an Office 365 ProPlus or Office365 Enterprise subscription).

I admit this one confused me a little. I wasn't sure whether the PowerView add in was enabled at this point, so I assumed it wasn't and chose "Enable the Power View option in Power Pivot using the Options menu item" which would be a pre requisite for getting PowerView working on a stand-alone instance of Office 2013 Pro Plus. Either way, good question.

Wow. That's mind-boggling!!!! I see that MS has adopted the SQL Server license model for all of its software. I wonder if they sell a decoder ring for the licensing...

Thanks for the question Steve.

+1. I answered correctly assuming that the installed software was a version that supported Power View. In this case I answered what I thought was the most right. But in fact I agree with Tom. I had to make an assumption.
