3. Introducing Power Pivot
11/19/2017
Introducing Power Pivot
Excel 2013 includes the workbook data model to mash-up and analyze data
Allows importing tables of data from different data sources
Creating relationships between tables
Creating simple calculated fields (aggregation of single columns)
The workbook data model is delivered with a client-side version of Analysis Services, known as the xVelocity In-Memory Analytics Engine
The Power Pivot add-in for Excel provides a ribbon tab and a development window to create more sophisticated data models
Office Professional Plus and Office 365 Professional Plus editions only
The add-in is disabled by default
Introduce Power Pivot briefly and explain, in short terms, that it is a client-side storage and query engine.
It allows for the development of a data model that is in effect, an embedded data source, upon which reports and data visualization experiences can be produced.
Strengths of the storage engine include compressed storage or data, a rich expression language to transform data into meaningful results, and a fast query response times.

19. Preparing Data Defining Relationships
11/19/2017
Preparing Data
Defining Relationships
Relationships between tables must be one-to-many
They are automatically created when:
The source database defines foreign key relationships, and
The related tables are imported together using the Table Import Wizard
They can be manually created when:
At least one column stores unique values, and
The column data types are the same
Relationships can be configured by using a dialog box, or by drag-and-drop in diagram view
Relationships allow the mash-up of different data sources. It is important to call out that columns involved in relationships must be of the same (or equivalent) data types.

21. Enhancing the Data Model
11/19/2017
Enhancing the Data Model
Creating Hierarchies
All columns expose a hierarchy with an All level and a single level beneath consisting of members based on the distinct values stored in the column
These hierarchies provide limited value as they do not provide exploration across the data
Multi-level hierarchies can be created in diagram view
Hierarchy levels are based on columns from the same table
A one-to-many relationship should exist between the columns
The hierarchy level names default to the columns names, and can be renamed
Hierarchies allow users to navigate, filter and view data at different levels of aggregation.
A common example of a hierarchy is Calendar, with levels of Year, Quarter, Month and Day.
Hierarchies can only be created in Diagram View.

23. Enhancing the Data Model
11/19/2017
Enhancing the Data Model
Creating Perspectives
Perspectives allow narrowing the resources made available to a user
Each perspective is defined by a name and the visible resources, including:
Tables, columns, calculated fields, KPIs and hierarchies
Client tools can connect to the data model or to a perspective of the data model
Perspectives are not security mechanisms
Perspectives is considered an advanced topic to simplify the user experience of a data model that includes multiple subject areas.
A perspective could be created for each subject area, and each would be configured to display resources relevant to the subject area.
This way, a user could connect to a specific perspective and work with relevant resources.
Notably, perspectives are not security mechanisms. Power Pivot does not support permissions beyond those at document level. Should a user have access to the document, they can access the entire data model and its data.

24. Opportunities Produce a “single version of the truth” data model
11/19/2017
Opportunities
Produce a “single version of the truth” data model
Store volumes of data in excess of worksheet limits (1,048,576 rows) and with high compression (10x on average)
Easily and efficiently integrate data from different data sources – corporate, local or external
Eliminate the use of the VLOOKUP function
Source data from different data formats – relational, multidimensional, data feed, files
Easily refresh data, when required
Enhance the data model with hierarchies and perspectives
There are numerous opportunities to produce Power Pivot data models in Excel.
Consider asking attendees what opportunities they see based on their experience and customers needs.
