Hi John, I myself is a big admirer of Excel and power pivot and hopefully, in a while, power View as well.

I was just wondering if the inclusion of power view and power pivot is a Professional plus exclusive or will they be included in other excel versions as well (ie Home and business etc)

Thanks. I'm looking forward to your post on power view

So am I correct that Power View and Power Pivot are only available in versions which are subscription based? Stated another way, if I spend $399 for office 2013 professional then I still don't have access to these add-ins?

Thanks,

Hugh
