As you may already know from some of the tweets concerning #PowerPivot, the book Microsoft PowerPivot for Excel and SharePoint is now available at Amazon.com.  The book’s authors are Sivakumar Harinath, Ron Pihlgren, and Denny Guang-Yeu Lee (i.e. myself).  Siva and Ron are both long time (this is a good thing) testers with the Analysis Services team.  And myself, well – you already know who I am (just in case you don’t, I’m with SQLCAT specializing in Analysis Services and PowerPivot).

This is an end-to-end book describing all of the moving parts within PowerPivot.  It is written in difficulty order – that is, each chapter is written corresponding from the novice to more advanced concepts.  We cover all the aspects of Excel and DAX – but we also cover the many moving parts concerning SharePoint including: PowerPivot for SharePoint, Excel Services, Geneva / Claims Token,  and Troubleshooting. 

We cover a lot of stuff in this book – so much so that by the time you finish reviewing it, it may actually be possible to understand our vaunted PowerPivot Client/Server Architecture! 🙂

I certainly hope you enjoy it!

Happy Reading!
