Building Visually Compelling BI Experiences with SQL Server 2008 R2 PowerPivot
Speaker: Peter Myers 
 
SQL Server 2008 R2 PowerPivot allows analysts to use Excel 2010 to load and prepare large volumes of data from various data sources to create a data model. The data model can then be enriched with calculations to become a data source for Excel PivotTable, PivotChart and CUBE function reports. And as compelling as these BI experiences can be that’s not the end of the story. A PowerPivot workbook deployed to SharePoint Server 2010 can be used to create even more compelling BI experiences using Reporting Services and PerformancePoint Services. In this presentation learn about the fundamentals of PowerPivot data model creation, and the exciting ways PowerPivot data models can be used to visualize and share data.

Today he specializes in Microsoft Business Intelligence and provides mentoring, technical training and course content authoring for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Office. Specifically, he works with SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services (cubes and data mining), SQL Server Reporting Services, Microsoft Excel, PowerPivot and PerformancePoint Services. He has a broad business background supported by a Bachelor’s degree in applied economics, and he extends this with current MCITP and MCT certifications. He has been an MVP since 2007.
