SharePoint 2010 PerformancePoint Services and PowerPivot Hands on Labs

This would be injustice if I do not share the detail on a nice training material available on Business intelligence 2010. I wanted to create and publish some KPI’s, Scorecards, Filters, Reports and Dashboards using PPS 2010 along with PowerPivot after creating the Business Intelligence site in SharePoint 2010 environment and I came across channel9’s excellent hands on lab which covers all these.

The first three hands on labs cover all the above mentioned things. The hands on labs are using Adventure Works cube as a data source. Each lab has a word document which contains complete walkthrough of the exercises and it is very easy to follow.
Thanks to Channel9 team for their efforts on preparing such a wonderful hands on lab.
There is one more thing which I would to mention about a SharePoint 2010 VHD available which contains some PPS 2010 sample dashboards. I have not tried this but just wanted to share with you.

I would recommend trying the hands on labs if you want to learn creating KPI’s, scorecards, reports, and filters, dashboards using PerformancePoint 2010 along with PowerPivot.

I hope this helps

Thanks,
