You can import data from one of the many data sources given in the table below. Using data sources that are available on network servers makes data refresh possible.

After publishing the workbook, you can set up a data refresh schedule to update information in the workbook automatically. To support data refresh for a workbook that you publish to SharePoint, choose data sources that are equally accessible to both workstations and servers. When using heterogeneous data sources, choose tables that have columns that can be mapped to tables in other data sources that contain identical or similar data. If you import tables one at a time, you might still need to create relationships between the tables manually.Ĭolumns that contain similar data in different data sources are the basis of creating relationships within the Power Pivot window. Importing multiple tables, and then deleting the ones you don't need, may save you steps. Importing tables from relational databases saves you steps because foreign key relationships are used during import to create relationships between worksheets in the Power Pivot window. When choosing between different providers for the same data source, you should try the OLE DB provider first. OLE DB providers can sometimes offer faster performance for large scale data. Paste in a predefined query to select the data that it returns. Rename tables and columns as you import data.

If the data is relational or dimensional, then-from within Power Pivot-click Home > Get External Data > From Database. In many cases, importing relational data through the Power Pivot add-in is faster and more efficient than doing a simple import in Excel.Ĭheck with a database administrator to get database connection information and to verify you have permission to access the data.
