Getting ready
To demonstrate the capabilities of the PowerPivot add-in, System Center Operations Man-
ager data is gathered in the dataset and further updated in this recipe. The data is perform-
ance data and the data of interest is the logical free disk space.

form the steps in this recipe.

tion that follows:
1. Connect to the
OperationsManager
database and select (after checking the
Select multiple items

Views and Tables
(you will be presented with all
Views and Tables in the database when you connect). These items are sorted first
by
Views
and then by
Tables
in descending order:
◦ The
PerformanceDataAllView
view
◦ The
Rulesview
view and the
BaseManagedEntity
table
◦
PerformanceSource
table
