Use the Diagram View to manage your model and create relationships.
Rename tables and columns as you import data in PowerPivot.
DAX expression language for intuitive calculations.
The extra modelling component has a ton of features that anybody who is serious about data analysis will want to have (don’t take my word for it try it yourself!), including: All the basic components of the Data Model like import data and create relationships are available for ever every version of Excel, but the extra modelling component is reserved for those with Office 2013 Pro Plus. In Excel 2013, the engine component has been directly integrated, and we refer to it as the Data Model engine (the technology is actually called xVelocity). The add-in came with two components: an in-memory data analysis engine and a modelling user interface. In previous versions of the PowerPivot add-in (Office 2010), the add-in was a standalone application that was user downloaded and installed. Let’s take a step back to explain a little bit further the differences in functionality (especially for those of you who have used PowerPivot in the past). Once inside you can enable Microsoft Office PowerPivot for Excel 2013. If this all worked all right, your ribbon should have a Powerpivot tab at the end:Īnother route is to go to File-> Options -> Add-Ins and then on the bottom dropdown select COM Add-ins: This will automatically create an empty Data Model, insert a blank PowerView canvas ( ) and activate the PowerPivot ribbon. The simplest way to activate the PowerPivot add-in is to just insert a PowerView sheet from the ribbon: Once you upgrade to the full version you will need Office 2013 Pro Plus for this functionality to be available. NOTE: If you are on the consumer preview of Office 2013 then the add-in is available. In today’s post I am going to show you how you can expand on this Data Model and add all sorts of analysis “goodies” using the PowerPivot add-in that’s built into Excel 2013. Some weeks ago I introduced an important, new part of the Excel 2013 Data Model and how you could create relationships between different data sources right in your Excel workbook ( ).
