Power View Overview (en-US)

This is the TechNet Wiki page for Power View, a feature of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition. Power View is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.

Important: Most Power View documentation is now in the Business Intelligence section of the TechNet Library.

This TechNet wiki page is updated as more content and resources become available, so check back regularly.

Power View provides intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers. They can easily create and interact with views of data from data models based on PowerPivot workbooks or tabular models deployed to SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS) instances. Power View is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from SharePoint Server 2010.

  • Congrats on this article being featured on the front page of TechNet Wiki!

  • Good article for someone starting up with Project Crescent.

  • Good one

  • Ed Price - MSFT edited Revision 29. Comment: Changed the See Also section at the bottom, which is a section title for other Wiki articles. We use "Community Resources" for external links.

  • Bill Ramos edited Revision 30. Comment: Update title and opening paragraphs to reflect the new name

  • Maggie,

    I noticed font size differences here, and it should also probably mention that it used to be called "Project Crescent" (since links to Project Crescent still lead here). Do you want to do those changes, or shall I? Thanks!

  • Ed Price - MSFT edited Revision 45. Comment: "TechNet Wiki" uppercase and equalized font size.

  • Thanks for sharing!
