Thanks everyone for the feedback - We plan to release an HP Vertica connector before end of CY17. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hello, we have a Vertica database that I want to connect to from PowerPivot. I was able to use the connection wizard and connect using the ODBC DSN data source. When it asks you to select the tables and views in the table Import Wizard, I selected three tables. But I get an error when it tries to import the data. Does anyone know what this error is and how to resolve this? Your help is greatly appreciated!! OLE DB or ODBC error: ERROR 4856: Syntax error at or near "[" at character 8 ; 42601. An error occurred while processing table 'GamePlayLog'. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.

Yes, Vertica is really important as it is a great column database, even free for a 3 node 1TB license. Microsoft would be crazy not to support such a good clustered DB for analysis. Continuous querying would also be important.

We are using vertica right now. Probably, the lack of HP Vertica support is one of the major arguments not to switch to PowerBI from Tableau. Put 3 votes for it.
