    Hi.

    Thans for your comment.

    Yes i am reading about PowerView and i used Power pIVOT yet.

    I will install Excel 2013 so i will test both together...

    But even if i was able to create dashboards in PowerView , how can i share these Excel workbooks with others users ???

    I do not know want to build only dashboard for me...but i have to produce something that a group of users have to use in our network...

    How can i do that without SharePoint ???

    I do not know...

    Remember that you need a specific edition of Office 2013 to have Power View. I think it is Professional Plus, which only comes in volume licensing.

    Share? Everyone with the same edition of Excel can view the Power View reports. I believe you can export it to PowerPoint, but I'll have to check that out.

    Without SharePoint it certainly becomes trickier. Microsoft has designed it's BI stack in such a way you need SharePoint in a corporate environment so you can easily share your dashboards.

    Anyway, other competitors also need some kind of server to run their dashboards on, so either way, you'll still be spending money.

    Need an answer? No, you need a question
