A Desktop Tool SQL Server Power Pivot for Excel

A free add-in for Excel 2010 – operates inside an Excel workbook.

Looks like Excel – uses Excel pivot table interface - but is not Excel.

Puts a database inside of Excel. Adds a new language for writing “Excel” formulas. Can handle millions of rows and multiple data sources

concurrently. Results are shown in pivot tables - pivot charts –

dashboards. Size of the workbook is limited by workstation memory. Performs like Microsoft SQL Server based high end analytical

tools. Designed for the “power user” – there is a significant

learning curve.
