Connecting to a Power Pivot model from another Excel workbook
- 6 years ago
Hello Anonymous
the only possibility to access the data model itself it's only possible when you have opened the other Excel with the datamodel (if even - i know it's possible with Power BI). But this doesn't suit the most business scenario.
The way I've solved such issues to create in your excel as many pivots as you need in other scenarios and then access the data of the pivot table. However you have to update the excel-file manully, every time your data model changes.

Connect a Power BI file to the Excel file containing the data model. Then create a new Excel file and connect it to the Power BI file.
