I've produced a video that demonstrates how to get the PivotViewer Extension for RS installed (including the sample app) and help you get started.

Also, one quick (but important) mention (it's also part of the video): you'll have to explicitely unblock the PowerShell script in order to be able to run it (I've forgotten to sign it). The video demostrates how to unblock the script (really easy).

Here is the video. Make sure you view it in HD. Enjoy!

Hi guys,

This week I have delivered together with Mohammad Ali, from the Power BI dataflows team, the session named "Microsoft Power BI: Enterprise-grade BI with Power BI dataflows" (aka "What's new in Power BI Dataflows"). The session video is available here. It also includes the session's slides, downloadable from here (in the page of the session video they are listed under "Other resources").

Hi all,

The enhanced engine of the (Premium) Power BI dataflows, mentioned in the calculator at http://aka.ms/dfparams, uses M query rewrites to target the source of the entities to be the cached entities in the hosted SQL engine.

Hello friends,

I have not written a post in quite some time (this is the understatement of the year). This post is a calculator for the Power BI Premium Dataflows workload and a brief explanation of those parameters.

Monday, the 22nd of November 2010 we will launch "PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services" CTP2. Here is a preview taken out of the release notes:

PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services CTP2 brings bug fixes as well as new features. This is a list of the changes:

1. Bugfix: PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services and its sample data does not install in a subsite. The bug was fixed in CTP2.

I've produced a new video that dives down into the anatomy of a PivotViewer application for Reporting Services and shows how to build a cool app (original link: http://bit.ly/a0Rho3).

Also, there has been a bug report (thanks to Kasper) that PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services does not deal well with null values. Indeed, this is a bug, fixed already and will be available in CTP2.

The CTP1 of PivotViewer for Reporting Services has just shipped! Get your free download from here. As I was saying in an earlier post, it is a concept project. It's not supported, and not a feature.

Microsoft has recently released a new Silverlight control called PivotViewer. This new control helps us to make better use of the growing amounts of information around us by visualizing thousands of things at once in a way that reveals the relationships which connect them. At the heart of the PivotViewer control are “Collections”. They combine large groups of similar items, so we can begin viewing the relationships between individual pieces of information in a new way.
