15. DATA SOURCES Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Available in Data connection library Models made available by the BI team

16. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS key performance indicator (KPI) A quantifiable measure for gauging business objectives. The KPI gauges the performance of the value, defined by a base measure, against a target value, also defined by a measure or by an absolute value. KPIs are supported natively Must be present in the model in order to use this feature.

17. HIERARCHIES Hierarchies enable drilling up and down in charts, tables, etc. Hierarchies can be defined in the model or in the power view report Adding multiple fields to the rows or columns box creates a hierarchy in a matrix In a chart add multiple fields in the axis box. If you find that you create the same hierarchy regularly, let the BI team know so they can include it in the model. Supports “unnatural hierarchies”

18. TABLES AND MATRICES Basically columns and rows Can be sorted Are affected by other object selections except other tables or matrices A matrix is more dynamic and allows for expanding and collapsing of hierarchies Cannot affect other objects

19. PIE CHARTS Pie charts can be more complex in Power View than you usually see them. Support hierarchies and drill down Sub slices are available Cross filtering with other charts

20. MAPS Maps are supported in Powerview Maps use Bing maps – internet connectivity is required Data model must have Geography data and must have attributes defined properly Cross filtering is supported Only pie charts are available Size of chart changes with data

21. SLICERS Slicers are an interactive filter that perform like buttons. Cannot hold more than one attribute Cannot hold a measure If you would like to see a measure and an attribute as a slicer, use a horizontal bar graph

22. FILTERS Filters are generally used to shape your data without having a visual representation of the filter on your report. Each Object has a filter The view has a filter View filters can be shared among other views in the report Filters can be complex or simple

23. POWER POINT EXPORT You can export your Power View report to Power Point and create an interactive presentation or a static view of the report views. Interactive mode requires Power Point 2013 Interactive mode requires network connectivity and authority to access the Power View report Static images are not refreshed. They are created during the initial export Interactive mode is available in reading mode or slide show mode only
