I am working on a presentation for our newest local PASS BI Chapter (Bulgaria BI & .NET Geeks) and around the subject I am preparing there are a lot of questions that are popping up. So I decided to show you here how to do some of the stuff I will be presenting.

Before we start though, first we will have to enable PowerPivot and Power View in Microsoft Excel 2013. So now I am going to share exactly this.
So first you open a blank workbook in excel and go to File->Options
Once done, go to Ad-ins page, from the add-ins drop-down menu select COM addins and press GO.
After that there is a window opened where you can see all you COM add-ins (both enabled and disabled). So next you have to check PowerPivot and Power View boxes.
Hit OK and you are done. How to tell that everything is alright? You should check in the INSERT ribbon if you have a Power View button and also if you have a PowerPivot ribbon on top:
That is it. Now you are ready to use both add-ins and author reports you’ve never imagined you can do with Excel :)
Over the years, knowing whether you have access to the Power Pivot feature in Excel has been challenging at times to say the least. First introduced as an add-in for Excel 2010, availability of the tool has varied, depending upon which version of Excel you utilized. Fortunately, Microsoft simplified access to Power Pivot with the release of Excel 2019 and now, more people than ever have access to the feature.
which versions of Office/Excel provide access to power Pivot?
As of January 8, 2019, you have access to Power Pivot if you are running any of the following versions of Microsoft Office/Excel.
- An Office 365 subscription that includes a Desktop license of Excel for Windows
- Office Professional 2019
- Office Home & Business 2019
- Office Home & Student 2019
- Office 2016 Professional Plus
- Office 2013 Professional Plus
- Excel 2013 and Excel 2016 when purchased as a standalone product
Additionally, if you are still running Excel 2010, you can download the add-in for that version of Excel by clicking here or navigating to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43348. Note, however, that version of the add-in will work only with Excel 2010.

Regardless of the version of Excel you might use to access Power Pivot, the principal use case of this feature remains the same – it is used to manage data models in Excel. In addition, you can use Power Pivot to create links to external data sources and use the data provided by those data sources to populate your data models, although many will find Power Query to be a better option for this application. Of course, once you create a data model, you can then summarize and analyze the data in the data model rather easily using PivotTables and, when necessary, CUBE functions in Excel.
