Where can I download POWER PIVOT for EXCEL 2013

[jeanne8825]

I have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013, and I tried looking for it in the COM add-ins, and it is not there. I tried searching online, and there is no download for 2013 version because it is supposed to be included in this version.

Can anyone please help me?

Why not google it?

You can't for Home and Student.
The PowerPivot is only available on specific versions... (and without going on a tirade for the stupidity of Microsoft on this) there are different versions of Excel beyond just the year. Yes you have the full version of Excel but not really.

You can check out the PowerPivotPro blog to find a list of which versions do and some discussion about this bad practice of Microsoft.

Here's the specific blog post that help explains which version you can run PowerPivot on.

Finding good detail on this stupidity from Microsoft is very difficult.
