How it works...
The data source for Power View is a data model in the same Excel workbook as the Power-
Pivot sheet. The data model created by PowerPivot is what Power View interacts with.
It's all about visualization of data with Power View; you can quickly create different kinds
of visualizations, from tables and matrices to pie, bar, and bubble charts. To find the best
visualization to illustrate your data, start with a table. When you've finished configuring the
table, convert it to the visualization that fits your requirements. Power View only enables
visualization that works best for data in the source table.
Besides the visualization of data, the Power View sheet can be provisioned with additional
functionality to explore the data. Filter configuration can be made visible or hidden. Slicers
in Power View enable you to compare and evaluate your data from different perspectives.
When you have multiple slicers on a view and you select an entry in one slicer, that selec-
tion filters the other slicers in the view.
Power Map uses Bing Maps to create a geographical representation of your data. You have
the ability to create your own map for specific locations; for example, you can use your
data center layout to visualize its defined KPIs.
