What's new in PowerPivot for Excel with SQL Server Code Name "Denali" CTP3

In Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 we introduced PowerPivot: A self-service Business Intelligence experience that enables information workers to create their own self-service BI solutions and facilitating sharing and collaboration within the familiar environment of Excel and SharePoint. With the release of Microsoft SQL Server code-named "Denali" we bring the simplicity and power of the PowerPivot technologies to corporate BI, greatly expanding the reach of the Microsoft BI semantic model.

As of CTP3 of Denali we are delivering a wealth of new modeling features to the Microsoft BI semantic model, which will surface in both in PowerPivot and the Tabular Project type within the BI Development Studio.
