Richard,

I'm somewhat limited to the client's request. Their Excel guru is
setting up some analysis spreadsheets for them. PowerPivot gives him
some additional features over the base pivot functionality. If
someone has any insight as to the magic ODBC incantation to make this
work...

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.
