3. SQL Server Power Pivot for Excel
Manages compressed storage of, and extremely fast querying and reporting from, large volumes of related tabular data
Data can be loaded from a variety of data sources
Leverages familiar Excel features
Uses Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) for sophisticated transformation of data
Supports publication of PowerPivot reports to SharePoint
Functionality is delivered by two add-ins:
SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel add-in
SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint add-in
Use this slide to introduce the major new feature in Excel 2010: PowerPivot. PowerPivot is a SQL Server add-in that extends the analytic capability of Excel to support the efficient integration and analysis of extremely large volumes of data. We will expand on PowerPivot in Topics and the SharePoint Insights module. Note that there is no demonstration of the add-in in this topic.

6. Who Is the PowerPivot Audience?
Excel users who know how to structure and work with relational data in workbooks
SharePoint users who use team sites and document management features
Database and IT professionals who:
Want to delegate business data development tasks to those who need the data most
Need to retain sufficient control so that data can be secured, monitored, reproduced, and archived
This slide describes the target audience for PowerPivot. Discuss with students how analysis of integrated data (not found in a corporate data warehouse) has been managed in their organization. The first key take-away here is that PowerPivot is designed for analysts who need to integrate large volumes of data, possibly from different systems. The second key take-away is that PowerPivot solutions, once published, can be managed by corporate IT.

8. SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel Add-in
Client add-in that extends Excel 2010 to support extremely large data sets
Achieved with a client-side version of Analysis Services, known as the VertiPaq processor
A separate PowerPivot Window is used to load, explore, relate, and enrich data with calculations
Imports and relates data from corporate, local, and ad hoc data stores
Results in a new data source embedded in the Excel workbook that becomes the basis for interactive reports
This slide introduces the add-in in further detail. Be sure to stress that the add-in encapsulates a client-side Analysis Services engine (distinct from offline cubes) and that it supports a new storage mode known as VertiPaq. Essentially, VertiPaq is optimized for column-based storage of data and works very efficiently with large volumes of data in memory. An important take-away from this slide is that the PowerPivot add- in supports the creation of a model that can be used for reporting.

15. DAX DAX is a calculation language for PowerPivot
It is a multidimensional calculation language like MDX, but the design goals were:
Make it easy to do common calculations (easier than MDX)
Make it easy to use for Excel power users, hence the Excel-based syntax
DAX expressions are limited to a single (though often very long) line of code

20. Known Issues
Cannot Use a Calculated Column to Mark a Table as a Date Table
PowerPivot Stops Responding When You Copy a Large Amount of Data to the Clipboard (Workaround: Copy only small data sets in PowerPivot)
Duplicate Linked Tables are created in Diagram View (Workaround: Make sure PowerPivot is in Data View when you create linked tables)
A Hierarchy Appears as a Flat List if it Is Used as a Report Filter (Workaround:  Do not rename the hierarchy on the report level when you add a hierarchy as a Report Filter)
PowerPivot Management Dashboard Does Not Load on a Domain Controller
PowerPivot Management Dashboard's Bubble Chart Control Might Not Work
F1 Help Does Not Show Localized Content for Chinese Languages
PowerPivot Fails to Open the Import Wizard for .atomsvc Files Larger than 64Kb
Filtering Members from Different Levels of a Hierarchy Causes an Error

21. Tabular Models over Power Pivot Models
Area
Pro Features
Scalability
Power Pivot has a 2 GB limit for the size of the Excel file. Tabular models do not have a hard upper size limit. Tabular models have partitions, which are used to manage processing of large data volumes. Power Pivot does not. Tabular models support DirectQuery. You can consider DirectQuery almost as a scaling feature as it allows you to avoid processing large data volumes altogether. Power Pivot only queries the VertiPaq cache
Securability
Tabular models can be secured using row security. Dynamic security is also supported.
Power Pivot does not support row security or dynamic security. Security for a workbook is just a binary choice – either a user can read a workbook or she can’t.
Manageability
SSMS has the backup, restore, attach, detach, delete, and synchronize features that you would expect. You can also script out from SSMS, browse your cube, and query your cube using MDX. All of these features work the same for multidimensional and tabular models.

22. Processing Options for Tabular Model
Description
Process Add
Adds new rows to a partition. Any affected calculated columns, relationships, user hierarchies, or internal engine structures (except table dictionaries) are recalculated.
Process Clear
Drops all the data in a database, table, or partition.
Process Data
Loads data into a partition or table.
Process Default
Loads data into unprocessed partitions or tables. Any affected calculated columns, relationships, user hierarchies, or internal engine structures (except table dictionaries) are recalculated.
Process Defrag
Optimizes the table dictionary (an internal engine structure) for a given table or for all tables in the database. This operation removes all dictionary entries that no longer exist in the data set and rebuilds the partition data based on the new dictionaries.
Process Full
Loads data into all selected partitions or tables. Any affected calculated columns, relationships, user hierarchies, or internal engine structures (except table dictionaries) are recalculated.
Process Recalc
For all tables in the database, recalculates calculated columns, rebuilds relationships. rebuilds user hierarchies, and rebuilds other internal engine structures. Table dictionaries are not affected.

23. Query Modes in Tabular Model
Description
Limitation
DirectQuery
This setting specifies all queries to the model should use the relational data source only
Custom security implementation may not work (It throws an exception and stops working)
Calculated columns are not allowed
In-Memory
This setting specifies queries should be answered by using the cache only

24. SSIS with tabular models
Analysis Services Processing Task Only some of the processing options are appropriate for tabular models. Process Full, Process Default, Process Data, and Process Clear are fine processing choices for tabular models. Process Indexes, not so much. Processing options that apply only to tabular models do not appear in this processing task. If you want to Process Recalc (and you do want to do this after a Process Add, Process Clear, or Process Data), you have to use the Execute DDL task instead. Analysis Services Execute DDL Task This task is fully supported and works great with tabular models.
