In the past I could connect Microsoft Excel to SAP HANA using MDX:
DATA → From Other Sources → From Data Connection Wizard → Other / Advanced → ...
For more details view: How To Integrate Hana Database with Excel
But this menu is not available any more (Excel for Office 365 MSO 16.0.11425.20242 - 64 Bit).
Even though the HANA Client ist installed.
So how to create a MDX Connection using Excel for Office 365?
I don't have MS Excel 356 at hand, but looking at the documentation it looks as if in order to get external data PivotTables are the way to go.

My Excel version: Microsoft Excel for Office 365 MSO (16.0.10366.20016)64-bit
I have successfully installed: Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable 64 bit.
Tried to start run Microsoft Visual Studio as an administrator as well. Not work.
My Excel Worksheet are saved as ".xlsx" extension.
In Excel Connection Manager, I have tried use Microsoft Excel 97-2003, 2007-2010, 2013, 2016.
In Property, I have tried to change "Run64BitRuntime" both in True or false.
Still receiving the error message:
Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager 2'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager 2'
The only way it work, is that save a copy of Excel file in 97 - 2003 version, and import Excel Source as Excel 97 - 2003.
I wonder how can I make the current Excel version works with Excel Connection Manager without saving another copy of Excel file in 97 - 2003 version.
So much thanks!!!
You can try running it as 32bit.
Right click on your package > properties > Debugging > change Run64BitRuntime to false.
I'm trying to mess around with some dashboard/BI tools since Power BI is no longer free and stumbled upon Power Query/Power Pivot as a potential solution.
I installed Power Query (x32) and am since unable to load excel 2010 when the add-in is enabled. When I disable the add-in Excel opens with no issues. When I re-enable the add-in Excel hangs for a brief moment and then crashes.
I'm running on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with a 32 bit Excel 2010 installation.
Any thoughts as to what could be going on here?
Edit: Many of my coworkers are having a similar issue so it may be something corporate-wide.
I previously had that scenario at one client, and it turned out to be a clash with a specific Add-In - ironically Microsoft's Data Mining Add-In (for SQL 2008 R2).
I suggest first turning on the Developer Main Tab in your Excel ribbon (for convenience) and then using it's Excel Add-ins and COM Add-ins buttons to disable all other Add-ins besides Power Query.
BTW performance of Power Query on Excel 2010 is truly woeful compared to Excel 2016 (where PQ is also built in, not an add-in).
BTW2 Power BI Desktop and a personal powerbi.com account are both still free.
I am using the SQL managment studio to run the import wizard to get data from excel file (XlSX). I get the following error:
External table is not in the expected format. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
The excel file is not password protected and it was created in office 2003 (95% sure)
I have read articles suggesting missing drivers. I have installed all the following:
Microsoft Office version Download
2016 Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime
2013 Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
2010 Microsoft Access 2010 Runtime
2007 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
Nothing of these worked for me. However; if I open the excel file, click save, close it and then import it using the wizard it works.
The problem is that I would like to automate this process. So opening 200 files, save them, and then close them is not an option.
My specs:
windows 10,
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.14393.0
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.14393.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.14393
The only thing that I found starnge here is the following:
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0.
Is this the correct value. If not, how do I update it?
This is my second day looking for a solution to this problem with no luck. If anyone could help.
I made a excel spreadsheet using office 2013 and it works fine. But when i try to open it in office 2010 it will crash when retrieving data.
My configuration: office 2013 - x64
Client: office 2010 - x32
data source: odbc
I have no clue what is wrong,
what have i tried:
if i do click on edit query and run the query it runs but as soon as i hit the button to take the data back to office it will just crash.
Have you tried installing powerpivot for office 2010?
This may give you a cleaner and more powerful solution, adaptable in both versions of Excel
In MS Excel 2007 on PC you can connect to a MS Analysis Services Cube via Excel. I can't see how to do the same on Mac using Excel 2008 there.
Does anyone know how to access the OLAP cube data on Mac?
OLAP isn't supported on Mac Excel, unfortunately.
I still see negative answers for SSAS OLAP Cube with Excel 2011 Mac version. See Here
Looks not supported yet.
Cilvic : can you suggest us how you were able to connect from Mac Excel 2011?
