I have BI app that extracts data from data source and shows it in excel, i am wondering is it possible to show the data in excel directly as Power View , so is there any code to control the excel power View settings using c#.

  • I believe that there's currently no way to do this, due to the fact that Power View is a Silverlight object. Check this post on MSDN for a bit more detail: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/fd9e90e2-ebc5-4dfb-9eaf-a263729b8ed2/how-to-generate-powerview-model-programmatically?forum=sqlreportingservices – GShenanigan Oct 09 '13 at 21:48

there is no way to create a power view programmatically in Excel.

  • So, isn't there an API or anything to generate *Power View* reports from code? – charliebrownie Mar 24 '15 at 10:25
  • That's right. Its not something that is supported for power view. We are compiling customer suggestions through support.PowerBI.com. Would be really useful if you could submit a suggestion there and let us know what the overall scenario is where you'd need to generate the power views programmatically. – Lukasz P.
