Chapter 5
Working Directly with the Internal Data Model
In This Chapter
Interacting with the Internal Data Model directly
Adding tables to the Internal Data Model
Removing tables from the Internal Data Model
Using multiple tables with the Internal Data Model
In the preceding chapters, you use the Power Pivot add-in to work with the Internal Data Model. But as you’ll see in this chapter, you can use a combination of pivot tables and Excel data connections to directly interact with the Internal Data Model, without the Power Pivot add-in.
This is useful if you’re using versions of Excel that don’t come supplied with the Power Pivot add-in, such as when you’re using Microsoft Office, either Home or Small Business edition. Every Excel 2013 and 2016 workbook comes with an Internal Data Model.
