In this chapter, we'll walk through the process of creating a basic Power View report. As we learned in the previous chapter, Power View reports can be created using Excel 2013 or directly through the browser when connected to a SharePoint site, which has the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products installed. In the following development activity, we will be leveraging the second option.
The development activity in this chapter is broken up into the following sections:
Creating a BI Semantic Model (BISM) connection
Opening the Power View design interface
Creating bar charts
Creating pie charts
Creating column charts
Adding a slicer
Deploying reports to SharePoint
