21. Disclaimer
Power View is an ad-hoc data exploration and visualization experience in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.  To use Power View reports with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 data stored in Business Intelligence Semantic Model multidimensional mode, you must have a generally available release of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that supports Power View for multidimensional models installed on your system.  As of December 1, 2012, Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that supports Power View for multidimensional models is not generally available.  However, the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that supports Power View for Multidimensional Models Community Technology Preview (CTP) release is available for download if you want to test the Power View reporting capability.  You should not test or use this CTP in a live operating environment unless Microsoft permits you to do so under another agreement.  Click here ( details.aspx?id=35822) for more information on the CTP release.  All features and dates are preliminary based on current expectations and are subject to change without notice. The information herein is for informational purpose only and represents Microsoft’s current view as of the date of this release.
