3. Introducing Power View Power View is a SQL Server Reporting Services authoring experience now available in Excel 2013 Power View in Excel 2013 requires a tabular data model, including a Power Pivot data model Report sheets can be added to the workbook and configure to produce interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experiences - Highly visual design experience - Rich meta-driven interactivity - Presentation-ready at all times It can enable intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users Available also in SharePoint 2013 with the Reporting Services add-in

11. Preparing the Data Model for Power View The data model can be prepared to fully exploit the Power View experience by: - Applying friendly names, descriptions and column and calculated field data formats - Enabling images The Advanced ribbon tab allows: - Customizing “automatic” calculated field behavior (Summarize By) - Configuring Report Properties

12. Preparing the Data Model for Power View Friendly Names, Descriptions and Data Formats Use friendly names for tables, columns and calculated fields - These names will be used as labels to describe Power View data visualizations - Embedded spaces are allowed Provide descriptions for tables, columns and calculated fields - These are surfaced as tooltips in the Power View Fields pane Set appropriate data formats for columns and calculated fields Hide unnecessary tables, columns and calculated fields

13. Preparing the Data Model for Power View Enabling Images Images can be enabled by: - Adding columns of image (binary) data - Creating calculated columns to produce a URL to retrieve external images - Images can be retrieved from a web server, including a SharePoint document library Image data cannot be efficiently stored in a Power Pivot data model Avoid storing large images or large sets of images The Table Behavior Row Identifier property must be set to a unique identifying column of the table The Table Behavior properties will be introduced later in this topic

14. Preparing the Data Model for Power View “Automatic” Calculated Fields There may not be the need to define explicit calculated fields Visible numeric columns will be surfaced as “automatic” calculated fields These fields will only be available in the Power View Fields pane, and will not be available in cube reporting tools (PivotTables, CUBE functions, etc.) Use the SummarizeBy property to determine the default aggregate function: - The default is to sum the column values - The Power View report user can identify “automatic” calculated fields, and modify their aggregate function in the report layout

15. Preparing the Data Model for Power View Reporting Properties Default Field Set: - Ordered set of columns and calculated fields that can be conveniently added as a table to a Power View report, with a single click Table Behavior: - Row Identifier: Sets the unique identifier column for a table (like a primary key), and it cannot be based on a calculated column - Keep Unique Rows: Columns that relate directly to the row identifier and that should not be presented as nested groups  For example, State Code and State Name - Default Label: Behaves as the friendly label for the table - Default Image: Behaves as the image for the table

16. Preparing the Data Model for Power View Reporting Properties (Continued) Categorize columns by type, especially relevant for: - Spatial data (longitude, latitude, country, state, etc.) - Image URL - Web URL By default, the Power Pivot settings will use automatic column categorization - This setting can be disabled - Categorization settings can be changed

17. Creating Power View Reports A workbook can consist of multiple Power View reports A Power View report is created by using the Insert ribbon tab - If a range of data is selected when creating the report, the range will be automatically added to the workbook data model, and the report will display the data - If no range is selected, and a workbook data model is created, the Power View Fields will display the data model fields All reports commence by creating a table, and this is achieved in the Power View Fields by selecting a table (if default field list was defined), or checking individual fields

18. Creating Power View Reports (continued) A table can be converted to the different data visualizations (charts or map) and its layout configured - It is possible to drag fields into the layout zones - Also, selecting a field reveals a down arrow, to select the placement zone - Different visualization types have a different layouts To create a new table, click on a blank area of the report canvas

19. Creating Power View Reports Data Visualization Types Table, Matrix and Card (single visualization per table record) - Table has fixed columns - Matrix allows grouping on columns Charts: - Bar (stacked, 100%, clustered) - Column (same as bar, but vertical) - Other (line, scatter, other) - The scatter chart can be animated across time Maps - The Map requires internet connectivity to communicate with Bing Maps

20. Creating Power View Reports Enhancing Reports Reports can be enhanced with: - Themes (fixed styles of fore and background colors, and fonts) - Images – free-standing and background - Textbox labels Numeric table values can be formatted Different data visualizations have different layout abilities - Refer to the available commands on the Layout ribbon tab when configuring a data visualization

21. Creating Power View Reports Filtering Reports Reports can be filtered in different ways: - Filter the entire report in the Filters pane  Drag and drop fields and set filter conditions - Filter a single data visualization  Select the filter icon in the top right corner of the data visualization - Add a slicer  Single-column table can be converted to a slicer to allow user interactive filtering  Multi-selection is possible by pressing the control key - Select chart areas (pie segments, bars or lines)  This will filter the entire view, and can be reset by clicking a blank area of the chart

22. Creating Power View Reports Sorting Data Table columns can be sorted by clicking the column header - First click is ascending, the second click descending, etc. Sort can also be configured by clicking the options in the top right corner of the data visualization - Fields and sort order can be set
