Inability to access BO from Excel Power Query

[sven_oehme]

Hi experts,

we installed MS Power Query to check our options with that tool. The only problem is, that we are not able to access a source like "BusinessObjects BI Universe". We have read the instructions for installtion form SDN, as well as those officials of Microsoft. From there and from overhung comments, I can't get a link to similar problems.

There have to be a button for the source "BusinessObjects BI Universe"

I have check the following entry:

Does anyone know if there is a setting that would have to be adapetd? Or if it determines extensions or installation parameters specifies in which I would have to take a look? Or is it not possible to install on client and a must have to install directly on BO-Server?

We have a Windows 7, with Office 2013 Professional 32bit/64bit, BO4.1

Sorry,

in accordance with the proposing I requested at Microsoft. The answer is found in the follwoing blog post:

It seems like that we need a MS Office 2013 Professional Plus to use the benefits of BusinessObjects functionality.Obviously it is possible to use optional MS Office Professional 2010 instead.

Hi,

this question needs to be asked to Microsoft as it's their add-in for their client software
