Anybody using (and like) PowerView? Are there any good resources on it? I kinda like PowerPivot (just having a hard time getting my head around it)... but PowerView is a mystery to me...
Got any reading I should do? Good books, articles?
Thanks

No I don't think it's just you;-), I've seen quite some confusion on this.

Probably the best article I've seen explaining the two is this one : Understanding PowerPivot and Power View in Microsoft Excel 2013 by Tyler Chessman, well worth reading.

I have used Power View for a while.
The tool is made to be user friendly. So just create a Power Pivot model and start exploring 😀
(if you google for power view tutorial you can find plenty of resource material)

There are a number of courses on the Microsoft Virtual Academy concerning PowerView, PowerPivot, PowerQuery and PowerBI in general.

Was it removed in 2016? I didn't really ever use it much... just never had a reason to.
That said, anybody know what MS's plans are with reporting? It seems all the ad hoc type stuff/data exploration is getting pushed to Excel and/or PowerBI. I guess that leaves standard parameterized reports for SSRS and subscriptions?
PowerView isn't dead, it's just hidden... you have to show it or whatever on the ribbon, I think. (Found an article about it somewhere... can't remember where now.)
