PowerPivot,PowerViewer and Excel 2013...

I finally got to install the office 2013 suite and the first thing i was curious to check out was tie in to the Powerpivot and Powerviewer tools. These 2 were integrated with Excel 2013, there has been a lot of discussion about this especially the Powerviewer piece and whether it needs to be tightly integrated with Excel. In Excel 2013, under the File /Options menu, there is a section for Add-on. In the list of Add-on, one will be able to see the add-on for Powerpivot and Powerview. Click on the check box right beside the add-ons. In the bottom portion of the screen, there is a drop down to manage add-ons, one would need to choose COM Add-on and then click ok at the bottom of the screen.

The next screen is where one can make the Add-ons Active, click the check box next to add-ons and click Ok. Once this is complete, one should be able to see the PowerPivot option on the Menu. Click on the PowerPivot Option, there will be a Manage option on the main bar. Once you click the Manage option, there will be a new window which will be presented to manage the database connection and do the data analysis.
