SSRS 2008 R2 Atom Data Feeds for PowerPivot

This article focuses on a new feature of SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2: enabling data feeds to be exported from a report and consumed in the new SQL 2008 R2 PowerPivot client.

With the release of SSRS 2008 R2, we now have a new rendering extension to render Atom data feeds from SSRS reports. You use this extension to generate Atom-compliant data feeds that are readable and exchangeable with applications that can consume data feeds generated from reports. For example, you can use the Atom rendering extension to generate data feeds that you can then use in the SQL Server 2008 R2 PowerPivot client.
