Analyze
Model and analyze with Power Pivot for Excel
The bigger the data, the more powerful we are
Continue to create sophisticated data models with that data in Excel
by creating relationships, custom measures, hierarchies, and KPI's. All
with the increased performance of in-memory technology.
Build your model and start your analysis
With Power Pivot, you create your own data model from
various data sources, modeled and structured precisely to
fit your needs. You can refresh from its original sources as
often as you want. You can format and filter your data,
create calculated fields, define key performance indicators
(KPIs) to use in PivotTables and create user-defined
hierarchies to use throughout a workbook. You can even
author your own calculations by writing advanced formulas
that use the Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) expression
language. No need to be a SQL expert: manage the model and
create relationships using drag and drop in the Diagram
View.

Visualize
Visualize with Power View and Power Map for Excel
Data tells a story
Use Power View to create reports and analytical views through
interactive charts and graphs that help you explore and present your
data visually in Excel. Explore and navigate geospatial data on a 3D map
experience with Power Map.
Presentation-ready
A Power View report is always presentable – you can browse
your data and present it at any time because you're working
with real data. You don't need to preview your report to see
how it looks.
Power View in SharePoint has reading and full-screen
presentation modes, in which the ribbon and other design
tools are hidden to provide more room for the
visualizations. The report is still fully interactive, with
filtering and highlighting capabilities.
