Most organizations have been using Excel to do analysis, create charts and design dashboards for years, yet there is a lot of functionality in Excel that is not easily accessed in SharePoint, sometimes even for those with Excel Services. The question becomes, how does one translate their work from Excel to SharePoint? This means more than linking to an Excel workbook in a Document Library; rather, it requires displaying the charts and dashboards directly within ShareP [read].

End User SharePoint
Guest Author: Richard Harbridge
A challenge with SharePoint for site managers, site administrators, or site owners is understanding their own role, it’s responsibilities, and what expectations come with being a ‘site owner, manager, or administrator’.
Before I go into what you can do from a Governance perspective, and related challenges I would like to use a quote from Mark Miller (from this article on user adoption and the success of this site ) that I think perfec [read].

EndUserSharePoint.com: Going… going… gone
End User SharePoint
This is the week I traditionally take my family camping in Northern California, so it’s going to be kind of slow around here on the site. @TeamESUP will be monitoring the site, so there will be occasional updates. I have also prepublished a couple of articles that will magically appear during the week, but don’t let that fool you. I’m completely off the grid.
I hope your summer/winter is going well. I’ll be back to full speed next week, refreshed and ready for another go [read].

Aggregating data with a DVWP and a Linked Data Source can really save you lots of time and make your SharePoint lists do some great online reporting.

As I play around with the Office 2010 client applications, naturally I’m finding some things are the same, while others are different. Today I’m going to talk about how Office 2010 saves files to a SharePoint site.
Reminder: Because SharePoint 2010 is still "under wraps", I’m only talking about using Office 2010 to access a SharePoint 2007 (or WSS 3.0) site in this article. Interaction with SharePoint 2010 may be very different. Also, bec [read].
