Data Category
Data category is a property setting that is available on a column within your
data model. Some of the values for this property are address, city, continent,
image, imageURL, place, etc. Once this property is set on the column, Power
View can interpret that information and use it so that it knows that the text is
a URL reference to an image or that the text represents a country name. This
can then be used to display images and map the data depending on the type
of visualization used in the report. Figure 6-13 shows an example of this prop-
erty setting in a Tabular Analysis Services project for the StateProvinceName
column in the Geography table.

Now that you have learned how to create these highly interactive Power View
reports, the next step is to share them with others. There are a few options
for this—one is that you can publish them to a SharePoint portal and another
option is to use the export to PowerPoint capability. Let's look at these two
options a little further.
