I have just installed Office Pro 2013 on my windows 8 machine. I have enabled PowerPivot in Excel and I am attempting to add data from access but I get an error once I select the access database (accdb)
Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Provider information is missing from the connection string. Add the provider information and try again. If you are trying to connect using a Managed provider then choose the appropriate data source in the data source selection page, and click Advanced to pick the appropriate managed provider.
I also get the same error when I attempt to connect to a SQL server database as well.
