Data Visualization with Power View and the Tabular Model

linkedin:jenstirrup
slides:none on file

Shows a working pipeline: a Visual Studio tabular model (VertiPaq/Velocity column compression) feeding Power View visualizations, with DAX measures and calculated columns created in the model, keys hidden, and PowerPivot used for quick prototyping. Demonstrates motion charts and brushing, using Professor Wilkinson’s inequality dataset where the top 20% are 56x richer than the bottom 20 (US =~ 8x, Norway =~ 4x), and warns Power View’s random sampling and the need to refresh browser metadata; traces reveal the generated DAX via SQL Profiler.
