This is a second, deeper look at Excel 2007's business intelligence capabilities (Mike Arcuri was on Channel 9 a few weeks ago). Really cool stuff for helping your business see what is happening.

The demos start at 6:15 into this video. Really great stuff, if you are an Excel freak, don't miss!

Thanks for reponding to the feedback and putting up another Office 2007 video.

Mike has a "ship it" award, I wonder what product that is for?

Has the number-of-columns-limit been changed already or not?

Nice stuff. Scoble, you weren't by any chance excited by all this, were you?  I couldn't really tell... Smiley

You get 16,384 columns and 1,048,576 rows now.

Sorry, I get excited by charts and graphs. Smiley


Yeah, I've noticed you seem somewhat partial to some productivity apps, which is understandable given your occupation .  Keep it up!

Oh, and try to teach your camera-steadying techniques to whoever shot that previous video...
Mike and others. Maybe a stupid question if so I apologize but...is there any easy way to extract the presentation element from Excel 2007and then include it in a portal style app as some sort of widget? It seems to me that would be a good thing for helping people share information and act as coordinated teams?
I've been confused lately, with all the talk of Open Documents, and such. Will Office2007 break the OpenOffice compatibility ? I understand there are DRM possibilities with Office2007, and if _that_ is the only restricting portion of the app, it could still be valuable. If the application itself disallowes any non-Office system to read the files at all, it will be a large problem for businesses and users that use the better alternative(s).

Just a thought.

Keep up the work.Smiley
