Benefits• Single architecture/feature set for Excel rendering• Excel Services no longer impacts SharePoint

performance• Licensing• Available to Exchange, Skype• Future Excel updates not locked to SharePoint• No end user impact


Implications• Complexity of setup (One more hop)• No GUI for configuration – use PowerShell only• Office Online Server requires separate server and is

mandatory• Some deprecated features• Excel Web Parts/Web Services must be added manually• Power View requires SSRS Integrated mode


Deprecated/Changed FeaturesDeprecated• Shared Data Connection Library• Unattended Service Account• File Access Method• Throttling/restrictions

• Cross Domain Access• Max sessions per user• Load balancing scheme

Changed• Data Connections Libraries now optional• UDF Assemblies deployed to OOS• ODC files require Server to Server Auth (S2S)• IT Management Dashboard not in CA• IT Management Dashboard requires S2S• Workbook as data source requires

Kerberos(KCD) between OOS and SharePoint WFEs• C2WTS Runs on OOS machine• SSAS must trust OOS for EffectiveUserName

• Requires SSMS 2016


New Features• Power Query refresh in PowerPivot for SharePoint *• Excel 2016 Data model support• Data model editing support• Excel JavaScript API support• Closer parity with Excel 2016 client

• Search in filters, value field settings, Comments, print selection

*Not there yet in SQL Server 2016 RTM

Installation Changes (PP4SP)• Service application and SSAS PP4SP now separate

installation• SSAS Instance now referred to as Power Pivot mode


Power View Silverlight Dependency


Changes to Excel 2016 client•PowerPivot = Power Pivot (or “Manage Data Model”)•Power Query = “Get & Transform”•Power View = Power View (if you can find it)•Power Map = 3D Maps


Power View Future• Added to Excel 2013• Silverlight dependency • Hidden from the ribbon by default in 2016• Requires both PowerPivot for Sharepoint and SSRS

Integrated mode in SharePoint 2016
