We started new PowerPivot related website
This month Microsoft finally released public CTP of PowerPivot for Excel and SharePoint. Up to know we were adding PowerPivot related posts into a separate category on the SSAS-Info.com website. But starting from this month we decided to move all PowerPivot related information to the new website:
Currently top posts on this new website are:
- Step by step guide on installing PowerPivot for SharePoint on a single machine
- List of suggested datasets to test PowerPivot
- List of PowerPivot DAX functions (short)
- List of PowerPivot DAX functions with description
- PowerPivot's impact on BI pros?
We hope you will find our new website useful!
