Microsoft recently released a CTP of Power View on SSAS Multidimensional , (and yes, I know I'm a bit late writing about this, but I still wanted to give my two cents on it). So we're edging closer towards the point where Power View and Excel will be able to cover all of your viewer needs (or at least most of them :)). Years ago when I wrote about Report Builder on a cube and all the problems that that relationship created, I wondered when that would be fixed. Now that we have Power View...

Specifically, I went to Mr. Donald Farmer 's seminar on Data Integration in Large Organizations . I did live blogging from most of the event, though actually, I didn't manage to blog about the last part of it, because I was preparing for something that was pretty big for me.... I'll start over. When I first heard Mr. Farmer was coming to lecture...
