I purchased "PowerPivot for the Data Analyst" and downloaded the Sample Data. When I tried to Connect to Flat File to import the demo.txt, I received the message "Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Provider information is missing from the connection string."
Since the file is on my C: drive, this message makes no sense to me. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
