This is a really great overview of Power Pivot for newbies just getting started. However, don't take it expecting to learn how Excel interacts with big data technologies like Hadoop, or if you are already familiar with PowerPivot. You can find a lot more detailed and complex examples on YouTube by the ExcelIsFun guy.
