There is a certain niche audience for this book: intermediate to advanced excel users who aren't necessarily BI/datawarehousing types. If you are a fairly basic excel user, this would not be a book to start with. You should already know vlookups, pivot tables, etc. before getting into PowerPivot. And, if you are a grizzled BI professional, this may serve as a good reference, but you can breeze through parts of it.I guess I'm pretty much the target audience here, then. I'm an all-day excel user, but had not yet gotten PowerPivot as my company was still on excel 2007. Moreover, I only have a passing familiarity with cubes and BI stuff, facts and dimensions and star schemas, oh my!But I had heard about this PowerPivot fad (kidding!) and have been intrigued.I recently upgraded to Excel 2013 on my home computer just so I could begin to play around with this new feature. While I don't love the look and feel of excel 2013, it was worth it.Okay, enough about excel itself. What do I think of this book? Why did I choose this one over one of the many others? How the heck am I reviewing it before it has even been released? Do I like asking questions as a cheap rhetorical device before essentially answering them myself? YES! I also like to refer to myself in the third person, just to sound important.As for the third question: I subscribe to an online library that, for some reason, already has this available.Honestly, the main reason I chose this book over many others is that it has a very comprehensive coverage of the subject by authors who's previous book came highly recommended. Some books are more introductory (Jelen's), some focus on DAX alone, some are more for the Sharepoint stuff, this one seemed to have it all.
