Temperature Mashup Demo – Download the Workbook!

Don’t forget to download Rob Collie’s Temperature Mashup Demo at PowerPivotPro.com. The workbook provides a great example of how to join two different sets of data (in this case, sales and temperature data) as well as creating complex measures within PowerPivot – i.e. DAX.

And don’t forget that the latest CTP3 DAX reference is now available online at MSDN.

Enjoy!
