PowerPivot gives users the power to create compelling self-service BI from a variety of data sources, including Microsoft Codename “Dallas” datasets.

With the “Dallas” CTP3 release, we have removed the 100 row import limit for “Dallas” datasets in PowerPivot, which enables analysis using “Dallas” data on a much larger scale.

Additionally in this release, we have strengthened the security for how “Dallas” datasets are accessed in applications such as PowerPivot. Previously, “Dallas” would automatically include your account key when opening a dataset in PowerPivot; with CTP3 you must now enter this account key yourself.
