I enjoyed the weekend at SQL Saturday #63 in Dallas. It was my first SQL Saturday and I was quite impressed with the caliber of speakers. Some sessions were hit and miss, but most were well prepared and immediately useful. One area I wanted to learn more about was PowerPivot, but that presentation was stuck in Demo Hell. We’ve all been there in front of a crowd, so I empathize.
Jamin Mace sent more resources to learn about PowerPivot. I just wanted to thank him and pass them along:
Good Blog about PowerPivot with tutorials: http://powerpivotgeek.com/
Good DAX reference: http://powerpivot-info.com/post/439-dax-cheat-sheet
Microsoft Excel 2010 Sample Spreadsheet
Remember, PowerPivot requires a Server 2008 operating system but some users have managed to run it on Windows 7.
Hope these help.
