Deploying Power View Reports

Power View reports can be deployed two ways:

1. Uploading the report defi nition fi le (.rdlx) to a PowerPivot Gallery


2. Opening and saving the report to the target PowerPivot Gallery.
   When deployed, the entity data source properties need to be modifi ed to point to the cor-
   responding Report Data Source.

In addition, Power View enables you to export the entire report into Offi ce PowerPoint

while conserving all data interactivity and animations. To export a Power View report to

Offi ce PowerPoint, follow these steps:

1. Open the Power View report titled PicnicItemAnalysis created in the previous
   section.


2. Click File ➪ Export to PowerPoint.


3. When the export process completes, click Save and provide a name, for example,
   PicnicItemAnalysisPPT.
   At this point an Offi ce PowerPoint fi le has been created containing the controls neces-
   sary to provide the same interactivity as Power View. Open the PicnicItemAnalysisPPT
