I'm trying to pull data from a SQL database but I can't connect with PowerPivot because I can't see a field to enter in the port number - suggestions?

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.

I thought the port number was the issue but it was that I didn't have the correct ODBC drivers installed for DB2. To fix, I went to the IBM website and then downloaded, installed, and configured them.
