OLAP PivotTable Extensions is a really cool free add-in for Excel that’s been around for quite a while now. It allows you to have some exposure to what’s going on under the covers (Among many other features) while you browse a cube using an Excel PivotTable. This weekend there has been an updated version and you should check out the features and download it now!

The new features in this release are:
- Support for Excel 2013
- Upgrading to the AS2012 version of ADOMD.NET to now support connections to .bism files. (This upgrade required adding the .NET Framework v3.5 SP1 as a prerequisite. Use a prior version of OLAP PivotTable Extensions if this prerequisite is a problem for your organization.)
