Chapter 12 ■ Business IntelligenceFigure 12-19. Visio diagram on a page using the Visio Access Web PartExcel ServicesExcel Services is an enterprise application that allows you to load, calculate, and display Excel workbooks within<strong>SharePoint</strong>. Microsoft introduced Excel Services in <strong>SharePoint</strong> 2007, enhanced it in <strong>SharePoint</strong> 2010, and furtherenhanced this service in <strong>SharePoint</strong> <strong>2013</strong>.In the initial version, Excel Services offered considerably less functionality than that of the full Excel application,but when <strong>SharePoint</strong> 2010 released to market it supported a lot more in the way of data manipulation with pivottables, better graphs, and ability to connect to external data via Business Connectivity Services. I mentioned someof the new features in Excel Services for <strong>SharePoint</strong> <strong>2013</strong> at the beginning of this chapter. Like most services in<strong>SharePoint</strong>, <strong>SharePoint</strong> <strong>2013</strong> implements Excel Services as a service application. By now, you are probably veryknowledgeable at creating new service applications, or perhaps you ran the farm wizard to configure Excel Services.Either way, for the benefit of those readers who may have jumped to this section of the chapter, the following isa series of steps to configure Excel Services in your <strong>SharePoint</strong> farm:1. Open Central <strong>Administration</strong>.2. Click the link to manage services on server.3. Ensure that the Excel Calculation Service has started.4. From the home page in Central <strong>Administration</strong>, click the link for managing serviceapplications.5. Scroll down the list and check to see if an Excel Services Application already exists.6. If not, click the New icon from the ribbon.7. Select Excel Services Application from the menu.8. In the page that appears, give the service a name.9. Configure the application pool using your application pool managed account (see Chapter 2).www.it-ebooks.info457
