PowerView... is it just me?

  • Anybody using (and like) PowerView? Are there any good resources on it? I kinda like PowerPivot (just having a hard time getting my head around it)... but PowerView is a mystery to me...

    Got any reading I should do? Good books, articles?

    Thanks

    No I don't think it's just you;-), I've seen quite some confusion on this.

    Probably the best article I've seen explaining the two is this one : Understanding PowerPivot and Power View in Microsoft Excel 2013 by Tyler Chessman, well worth reading.

    I have used Power View for a while.

    The tool is made to be user friendly. So just create a Power Pivot model and start exploring 😀

    (if you google for power view tutorial you can find plenty of resource material)

  • Was it removed in 2016? I didn't really ever use it much... just never had a reason to.

    That said, anybody know what MS's plans are with reporting? It seems all the ad hoc type stuff/data exploration is getting pushed to Excel and/or PowerBI. I guess that leaves standard parameterized reports for SSRS and subscriptions?

    PowerView isn't dead, it's just hidden... you have to show it or whatever on the ribbon, I think. (Found an article about it somewhere... can't remember where now.)
