The last take-away I’ll share is that PowerPivot
is going to absolutely knock our customer’s socks off! We had a guest speaker, John Hancock from the PowerPivot team, join our closing session to give everyone a sneak peak at this great new tool that will be available for free with Excel 2010, and all I can say is WOW. John demonstrated with live code how PowerPivot can enable you to sort and filter over 100 MILLION rows in less than a second (yes, I said 100,000,000 rows)! He illustrated how easy it was to pull data from three different sources (a SQL view, a SQL Reporting Services report, and an Excel spreadsheet) into one workbook where Excel automatically detected the relationships and helped him build a great Pivot table. He also showed the powerful sharing capabilities by saving his new Dynamics GP PowerPivot report to SharePoint 2010 where users can browse the data in new and interesting ways. There are so many features in this tool and Excel 2010 that I can only begin to imagine the scenarios that will be enabled when our customers start using this technology. PowerPivot is basically Excel and Pivot Tables on steroids, and I think it could seriously change the game on how organizations analyze and share data.
