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!

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.

PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services Session#2
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.

Stay tuned...
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.
