PowerPivot for the Data Analyst: Microsoft Excel 2010

Business intelligence (BI) tools make it possible for companies to gain deep, actionable insights for faster, better decision-making - and greater competitiveness. Until recently, however, access to BI has largely been restricted to experts using complex, specialized tools. With PowerPivot for Excel 2010, Microsoft has changed that. Together with SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft's new SharePoint Analysis Services, PowerPivot makes advanced business intelligence available to any mainstream business user working with Excel 2010. Of course, having the tools isn't enough: you must learn how to use them. That's where PowerPivot for the Data Analyst comes in. In this book, legendary Excel expert and instructor Bill Jelen shows exactly how to use PowerPivot to gain deep, actionable insights for more effective business decision-making. Using concrete examples and real-life scenarios, Jelen walks through setting up PowerPivot and integrating multiple data sources; creating and sharing dynamic dashboards; slicing and dicing to perform fast, interactive, ad hoc analyses; leveraging Excel's familiar features in advanced BI applications; and much more. This book is part of the new MrExcel Library series.
