It's good, but I'm now using Office 365, so things are in different places. Power Query is now part of the product and need not be downloaded, and its location in Excel is changed.

This is exciting - so many possibilities.

It went well, but I had trouble when using my own data. I had at one point added some summation fields to the PowerPivot table, and though I later removed these and the entire data model as well, I could never get the Power View sheet to use the proper data. The calculated fields kept appearing. I will see how it works in the PowerBI suite of tools.
