A second video released in a day! Keep posting the videos, although I don't know if I can keep up and watch all of them Big Smile ! But I'll gladly enjoy that problem rather than not having any videos to watch Tongue Out

A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

I wish that I could live in some bubble that would protect me from sample databases like AdventureWorks. Must be nice. Can we do count(distinct [field]) in excel 12 pivotTables?

Thanks for posting Channel 9!

We certainly didn't get to cover everything new in this session, so I hope to record some more footage in the near future.

For more information on Excel 12 (including BI features, Excel Services, and new charting capabilities) check out David Gainer's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/.

Thanks,
Mike.

It's great to see the simplified Pivot table.

Mike Arcuri has a lot more to discuss. Please bring it on.

Probably not appropriate to discuss partner solutions on Channel 9 but I'd love to see a discussion on how Tableau's data visualizations gel with Excel 12.

Charles. Dang. I can't keep up with all these videos everyday. I guess I'll have to watch the remaining 2 you mentioned over the next few days. Heh.

This excel video was really good! Nice long software demo with Scoble asking good questions. Asking what a pivot table is was great...because while I've thrown the term around alot I now have a much better understanding of what exactly a pivot table is. Thanks Scoble for stepping back and asking questions....your questions and his great explainations really helped me grasp the power of Excel 12.

I loved when you asked what a KPI is? Because I didn't have a clue either.

Thanks for helping us excel laymen understand...

The convert to formula is AWESOME!!! That is a serious innovation in my opinion...

I also love how he built the pivot table with just what 3 clicks....Incredible!

BTW, I liked the C9 guy on the window.

Keep up the great work. Smiley

One of the questions I've always had about MS demos is who builds them. With this video I'd love to meet the team that had to build this demo....its super complex. I'd also love to see a video on the teams that are behind Contoso and Fabricam....the 2 companies that Microsoft uses in most of its demos.

Mike I'd love to have more excel videos like this. I don't use Excel all that much....but this video was a great conversation about the architecture of the functionality in Excel...And if I see more excel videos on C9 I will definitely be using Excel 12/2007!

I'd love to see a video on building the Dashboard without any code!

This video excites me about Excel in a way I've never been excited about excel ever before(heck I've never been excited about excel before this)!

Zeo, stop posting fanboy crap. You sound like an overexcited 9 year old.

ZippyV, I'll post my honest thoughts on the content here on Channel9. The majority of the content is stellar, but when I see bad content I have no problem being critical.

I've also given lengthy constructive critical feedback on where I think C9 needs to improve....because I want to see it improve. Which frankly is more than I can say that I've seen from your posting contributions.

I write code for a living and when I'm not at work I come here to C9 to relax and enjoy the videos....and frankly I can get excited about whatever I want too.

Now let's get back to talking about excel 12, ok?
