Lab Scenario
Module 1: Introduction to Business Intelligence and Data Modeling
Students will perform the lab in the role of a business user in the Adventure Works Cycles company, and use SQL Server 2012 BI features to:
Publish a sales report from Report Builder to a SharePoint library, and then view the report
View an Excel workbook that contains a PowerPivot data model, and publish it to SharePoint Server
Create an interactive data visualization in SharePoint by using Power View
Point out that the instructions in the lab are deliberately designed to be high-level so that students need to think carefully about what they are trying to accomplish and work out how best to proceed for themselves. Encourage students to read the scenario information carefully and collaborate with each other to meet the scenario requirements. Remind students that if they find a particular task or exercise too challenging, they can find step-by-step instructions in the lab answer key.
This lab is an overview lab, designed to show the BI capabilities you will explore in greater depth in the rest of this course Business users and executives at Adventure Works Cycles need to be able to view reports that show sales figures, and perform interactive analysis of sales data in Excel and SharePoint Server
