Data Mining with Excel
Guy Fouché, Lynn Langit · Apress eBooks · 2011
This chapter explores data mining with Excel, using both Excel workbooks and SSAS as data sources. Excel data mining is accomplished using the SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-in. Excel 2010 is a significant part of Microsoft’s BI offering, and it provides you with an affordable and powerful end user client toolset. By offering such a rich feature set at such an attractive price, it is Microsoft’s intent to make BI available to a larger percentage of your end user groups, rather than just the analyst community.
