Re: How to set up ODBC for PowerPivot use?

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not a pivot expert, but what about dropping the data to an access database and then trying to use it for pivoting. 

Could possibly be some limitations in the CA/400 ODBC DB driver.

Jack,

  When using ODBC, the file transfer is not needed.  I have set up a Client Access ODBC connection, which works fine when doing a regular pivot table.  When switching to Microsoft's Power Pivot Excel plug-in, even within the same sheet, it shows an error saying that the provider is missing.
