In SQL Server 2014 you can use Multidimensional model to create Power View

This feature is new in SQL Server 2014.

In SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services you had the option to create Power Views using the Reporting Services Service in SharePoint 2010. In order to create the Power Views you needed to create tabular data model in SQL Server Analysis Services 2012. You needed a separate instance of SQL Server Analysis Services installed to support Tabular Data Model as the default was Multi-dimensional.

With SQL Server 2014 Power Views can be created using Multidimensional models, the same model used in OLAP Cubes. Just as Tabular Data Models supported Data Analysis Expressions(DAX), multi-dimensional models also support querying with DAX.

Power View is not exclusive to SharePoint but can be created using Excel 2013 although somewhat limited in features compared to those created using SharePoint.

Chapter 6: Power View and Reporting Services

This chapter in my book describes how to create Power Views from scratch.
