Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will be using the WideWorldImporters and WideWorldImportersDW databases from Chapter 1, Analysis Services in SQL Server 2019. You should connect to the database with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
We will be using Excel to build the Power Pivot model prototype. For our examples, we will be using the Excel version that comes with Office 365 ProPlus. The other latest versions of Excel should allow you to participate in the hands-on examples as well.
