If you are not already looking at PowerPivot from Microsoft for Business Intelligence now is the time to start. PowerPivot is designed to support end user/power user BI, including millions of records, from inside of Microsoft Excel. It works great with Dynamics GP tables, views or analysis cubes as a data source. Even better, it’s free.

PowerPivot required Microsoft Excel 2010 at a minimum and gains even more power with SQL Server 2008 R2 and Sharepoint PerformancePoint Services. If you need a compelling reason to start upgrading to Excel 2010, this is it.
