Power View is a dashboard component that can be installed on either Excel 2013 or SharePoint 2010 and higher versions. Power View provides powerful tools with an easy development interface for BI systems. Power View currently works with both the Tabular and Multidimensional models of SSAS.
For the examples in this chapter, we use the SSAS Tabular sample model of Microsoft, named AdventureWorks Tabular Model SQL 2012.
In this book, we will only use Power View for Excel 2013 for our examples. This means that you should have Excel 2013 installed on your machine to get the samples of this chapter working.
