I am unable to connect to an Oracle database in powerpivot from excel 2010.
I have a 32-bit machine, and my version of excel is 2010 (32-bit). In normal excel, I can connect to the oracle database and extract data no problem, however this is not working in powerpivot.
The steps I am taking in powerpivot are
click "Get External Data from Other sources", which takes me to Table Import Wizard
click option "Others (OLEDB/ODBC)". I then click Build which brings me to a Data Link Properties window and I select my data source name from drop down menu, and enter my username & password and als also tick check box for "Allow saving password", and then when I click on Test Connection it comes back successful.
After clicking Ok, it brings me back to Table Import Wizard, and displays the connection sting as:-
Provider=MSDASQL;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=testuser;DSN=OF_UAT;Password=**********
However, when I now click Test Connection, I get below error and cannot proceed further:-
ERROR [IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
ERROR [28000] [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied
I'm not overly familiar with powerpivot, so would appreciate any help on this.
