SharePoint 2013 Improvements in Excel Services

Excel Services provides users with a rich experience and new capabilities when working with web-based workbooks.

• Power View now empowers users to visually explore data, quickly create interactive visualizations, and easily present and share reports—all with the familiarity of Microsoft Excel • Users have the ability to mash-up and analyze data from virtually any source and rapidly create compelling analytical applications using PowerPivot in Excel and publishing to SharePoint Server.

• New data navigation features make it easier to drill into data displayed in Excel Services reports and dashboards.

• Timeline controls render in a browser window similarly to those in the Microsoft Excel client.

 • Context menus in a browser window resemble right-click menus in the Excel client.

• In a browser window, users can add, change, and remove items from rows, columns, values, and filters in PivotChart and PivotTable reports. • With Excel Services, users can publish workbooks that contain calculated measures and members.

These capabilities can help your organization achieve better business outcomes by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of users, while reducing IT cost and complexity. Plus, because the IT department maintains control over security and policies, these benefits can be attained in a highly secure manner.
