Question

Am trying to connect SQL Server Analysis Services from PowerPivot for Excel. This was working fine and if I use existing connections it works fine. But when I try to create a new connection throw an error as below:

Failed to connect to the Server. Reason 'MSOLAP' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Version of SQL Sever am using is 2012.

Any clues?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Looks like you are missing "Microsoft® Analysis Services OLE DB Provider for Microsoft® SQL Server®"

You should be able to find the component if you search for "Microsoft® SQL Server® Feature Pack" (SQL 2012 version (MSOLAP.5) here) - you then need to expand the "Install Instructions" section to find the "Microsoft® Analysis Services OLE DB Provider for Microsoft® SQL Server®" section.

(For reference, MSOLAP.4 is in the SQL Server 2008 R2 feature pack)
