    Note: some link sometimes show "Content Not Found" just refresh the page, it should show up the content.

    read carefully and I suggest try to install on one machine and see how it goes... and next you can try to install to multi thier computer.

    Please try in development environment if you really want to seperate the machine, I suggest to create virtual environment for multi tier environment.

    Good Luck,

    WidodoTM.

    Hi Kunal,

    Please follow the steps below to finish the Powerview installation.

    1. SharePoint Server 2010 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
    2. SQL Server 2012 Database Engine
    3. SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services and Reporting Services Add-in
    4. SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for SharePoint

    After you install these features, you will be able to do the following.

    • Access the PowerPivot workbooks that you created in PowerPivot for Excel from SharePoint sites.
    • Build interactive Power View reports based on PowerPivot workbooks in SharePoint.
    • Create Report Builder reports when you launch Report Builder in SharePoint.

    For the detail information about Deployment Checklist: Reporting Services, Power View, and PowerPivot for SharePoint, please see:
