I would like to build a pivot table for end users to open and work with, I want to make it as easy for them as I can.
My data comes from a very nicely built data warehouse.
What do I lose or gain by:
either
a.) creating a view with the the fact table and dimensions joined in the view and then just querying the view through the PowerPivot query / data connection wizard.
or
b.) selecting the fact table from the query wizard and have it search for and find the pre-existing relationships between the fact table and dimensions.
My goal is end-user ease of use, limiting the amount the user can screw up, and speed! This is my first foray into PowerPivot.

Craig
