Power View is a visualisation and prototyping tool created by Microsoft and released as part of SQL Server 2012.

Power View was designed to bring visualisation and analysis capability to end-users, rather than relying on specialised database/business intelligence developers to create reports.

It is based on Microsoft's existing SSRS technology and hosted via SharePoint 2010. PowerView reports are constructed on top of pre-existing data models built using either PowerPivot or the new SSAS Tabular model.

Power View itself presents users with a Silverlight front-end, allowing quick drag and drop functionality to build charts, tables and other visualisations in a matter of seconds. The data structure is exposed in an almost identical manner to Excel's PivotTable/PivotChart functionality.

The initial release of Power View requires SharePoint 2010 as a host for both the Power View and the underlying data model, although Office 2013 also includes built-in Power View capability, using a more advanced version of the tool. Power View reports can also be exported from SharePoint into PowerPoint presentations, and manipulate data live therein.
