  • Hi Bill!

    What is the difference between PowerPivot and Microsoft Access? melch

  • @Melchizeedek 1 PowerPivot offers the DAX formula language that allows complex calculations that Access can not do. 2 PowerPivot offers the ability to create professional looking web apps by publishing to SharePoint or to HostedPowerPivot. 3 PowerPivot lets data analysts use the rich Excel front-end that they already know. 4 PowerPivot consumes more data types, 5 World-class vertical compression of the data improves speed over Access

  • @Melchizeedek Just wanted to say that I agree with Bill's points completely. I'd also add that Access can serve two complementary roles with PowerPivot. One is data shaping - transformations etc. PowerPivot offers nothing for that. The other is as a data collection/entry tool, via forms. Either way, the role of Access would be to feed source data into PowerPivot. I'm thinking about doing a blog post soon on "Access vs. PowerPivot." Watch powerpivotpro (it's .com) over the next week.
