We’re looping back to “Rapid Data Exploration & Visualization” with Julie Strauss, Senior Program Manager Lead with the SQL Server Analysis Services Group. Julie shares with us how the Diagram View made its way into PowerPivot. While this may seem like a simple decision, there were trade-offs that needed to be considered. Watch the video and see how the final decision was reached and what the feedback has been!

Stunning, interactive data visualization

 

    • Power View: Discover new insights at the speed of thought with highly interactive, browser-based data exploration, visualization, and presentation experiences for users of all levels.
