Hi,

I just wanted to gauge people opinions of powerpivot. Reading various articles and reviews, its the best thing since sliced bread and have noticed there are a lot of consultancies out there providing a powerpivot service and earning a pretty penny so I'm thinking it must be good.

However, I have used and received some basic training on powerpivot, and quite easily managed to grind this to a halt. In my eyes producing a stock report from a dataset that no where near pushes the boundaries of the data handling limits it boasts should be a simple task, or applying fairly detailed DAX formulas to select data should be part and parcel within its capabilities.

So I guess what I am asking is, is it me? am I expecting too much? or is there a problem with the initial data source etc etc?

Your views are appreciated.
Thanks
Garry
