What is PowerPivot?
•PowerPivot delivers a data
modeling environment that
allows enhanced data models. It extends
the PivotTable by allowing data to be
imported from multiple
sources.
Some of the more helpful capabilities are:
• Integrate data from multiple sources.
• No limit on the number of data rows and
columns.
• Enhanced calculations
Note: PowerPivot is an excel add-in, and is only
available in the Office Professional Plus and Office
365 Professional Plus editions.
PowerPivot Data Sources

PowerPivot Table Tools
Combing data with multiple
sources allows reports that
stretch over many different
sources.
