Hi All, <o:p></o:p>
I read and watched a couple of TechNet vidoes and some external websites about SP2013 Business Intelligence. Most of websites used AdventureWorks Database to show the BI capabilities.<o:p></o:p>
However, we have our own Excel files that we need to display on SharePoint 2013 including KPIs, charts, reports and will be used by managers.<o:p></o:p>
I have a couple of questions: <o:p></o:p>
Q1: I need to design tables inSQL Server 2012 (will give the database name to be BI) with information of Excel files. Is this approach correct before I embark designing database tables?<o:p></o:p>
Q2: After I design the tables, I need to show end users their information using BI database in the SharePoint 2013 out of the box forms to type in their user details. This user information will eventually become a business intelligence centre and shown to managers with KPIs and charts. How could I display SP2013 Forms with customSQL Server 2012 database that I would be creating? Can I use business connectivity services to display external database? Or any other way to display user information from custom database? <o:p></o:p>
Please advise.
Regards,
Aroh<o:p></o:p>
