When is Office Release of Power Pivot due?

Question

Do I understand correctly that the existing PowerPivot beta release only works with Excel 2010 beta?  Hence I can not use the forthcoming release of Office 2010 until PowerPivot is also release?  Alternatively, is PowerPivot incorporated into Excel 2010 as opposed to being a separate addin?  Thanks.  Breadon.

Answer 1

We will get back to you on this

Answer 2

Powerpivot will have to be downloaded from powerpivot.com and won't come as an add-in with Excel 2010 RTM.

Answer 3

Hi Breadon,

Office 2010 release dates are here: http://blogs.msdn.com/bewalter/archive/2010/04/19/office-2010-rtm.aspx
You can download PowerPivot addin at http://powerpivot.com

PowerPivot will not be incorporated in Excel 2010 setup.

HTH,
