![]() ![]() ![]() My problem now is that I have to work on a new laptop with Office 2013 desktop installed. We don’t have the volumes of data which would use PP in our own right but for my company we aim to demonstrate cost effective BI using PP to much larger clients, hanging off our own products (doing Microsoft’s selling job for them). Rob, Thanks for a great site which helped me get up to speed on PowerPivot 2010.Īdding my voice to the debate, Microsoft has shown how short-sighted it is by making it difficult for small businesses to access PP2013. PS – So, the Alchemy book – as good for both 20 or more aligned to 2013, as per Amazon description? So all in all a successful, non US (Australia) install thanks! I’ve been trying to play with the Data Explorer 2010 version at work but find the total lack of instructions and literature make this frustratingly difficult to pick up in a reasonable time frame whilst busy on other tasks at work but I think it has great potential from what little I can find out about it. Once the update occurred, which happened in the background without reloading Excel or any undue issues, PowerPivot is now happily installed first time via Com Add In.Īlso I downloaded Power Query, the newer version of Data Explorer for free and installed this too – although the 64bit version would not work, only the 32 bit, even though my Mac system, MS Office and Win 7 are all 64bit. It has updated to Version 15.04535.1511, although I needed to leave it online for about an hour to recognise the update being available – at first it did not register that version being available(?). ![]() I didn’t realise but I guess it included PowerPivot anyway but as I hadn’t used my Office 2013 much (I use Office 2010 at work and Office 2013 is running on Windows 7 on my Mac via Parallels) I went in tonight to check out the upgrade. ( ) By far the best value out there – $15 for complete Office suite, cheaper than those wink-wink “back-up” copies available at your local Computer Fair – and obviously totally legitimate. It was purchased via the heavily discounted MS HUP (Home Use Program), available to large corporate users and universities/students I think. I have MS Office Professional Plus 2013 at home – I previously described it as Stand Alone as its not Office 365. I think I was a bit confused what has PowerPivot and what doesn’t. Sooo I was a bit confused, I have it and all works OK but its not via a Standalone version.
