To explore the data that we stored in the cube we need to open an excel file and create a data connection to our cube. In order to do that we need to follow the next steps:
Go to the Data tab and in the “From other source” options choose From Analysis Services
Indicate the name of your server instance
Select the cube that you want to use
Now you can choose between insert a Pivot Table, a Pivot Chart or a PowerView Report, I will begin inserting a Pivot Chart
Using the right panel you can choose the measure and dimension you want to use in your charts.
These are some expamples of chart:
User more influents (base it in their amount of followers) that tweet about our search criteria
