Problem with analysis to excel
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with analysis to excel
Error Message in excel:
"Initialization of the data source failed. Check the database server or contact your database administrator."
Data:
Computer with win 10 64 bit
Microsoft Excel 2013 32 bit
Analyze in excel updates: x64_15.0.2000.20_SQL_AS_OLEDB.msi (Can't find a 32 bit)
Thank you.

hi, itay992
Try the following workaround:
- Download MSOLAP 7 from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/8/2/482E5799-9B8E-4724-8A4C-F301BAE788EE/13.0.3523.4/1033/x...
2. Close all office applications
3. Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\VFS\ProgramFilesX86\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\140 and rename the adal.dll to adal_orig.dll (if you have excel 64 bit use the version from Program Files / ProgramFilesX64)
4. Copy the adal.dll from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\130 to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\VFS\ProgramFilesX86\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\140 (if you have excel 64 bit use the version from Program Files / ProgramFilesX64)
5. Open the odc file and see if it works for you

Hi, thanks for the answer
Unfortunately it doesn't work.
The File Location it provided was incompatible with me, I tried the steps elsewhere but with no success.The location of files on my computer:
Where I tried to do the actions, but no folder "140"
Thanks.
