Excel - Microsoft Data Explorer add-in (preview)



"In a nutshell, Data Explorer is self-service ETL for the Excel power user – it is to SSIS what PowerPivot is to SSAS. In my opinion it is just as important as PowerPivot for Microsoft’s self-service BI strategy.
Microsoft Data Explorer add-in (preview) is supported on Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 SP1".
