Try not selecting that column in the import wizard. Thanks, Kasper Hi @Pongsak , any chance that one of your columns contains a binary field ? Try not selecting that column in the import wizard.

That is an issue of 32 bits. This is solved when you go to 64 bits. Kasper Hi @Jacob , unfortunatly when you use 32 bits you will not be able to get over 3GB of memory usage.

I think the relations just don't work at all if you use content that comes from a SQL database. The only result I found so far(which is not ideal at all(in case of updating data) is that you add 'related' collumns inside the powerpivot itself and then make the pivot table in Excel.

Is it possible to connect an new notebook to this tables so I do not have to re-create the relationships and formulas etc. I want to be able to create pivot tables in a separate workbook, so I can share it. The workbook with all the tables is very big. Thank you. I created a powerpivot database, by linking tables from the spreadsheet to powerpivot.

Once again thank you for your help and your time. I have imported data from a SQL database and I'm playing with them as already discussed. However I have added a field to one table (actually it's a view) but when I refresh the table in PowerPivot the new field doesn't show up. Is this a bug or expected behavior ?

This broke the approach to check for an existing related element. I had to change this: =if(ISBLANK(RELATED(Excludedvalues[KeyValue])),Data[Sales], BLANK()) into this workaround: =IF(LEN(RELATED(Excludedvalues[KeyValue]))>1;BLANK();Data[Sales]) Can anybody confirm that this broke in the last version? Or is there a less ugly workaround? ;) Yesterday I updated to the newest version of PowerPivot (RC0 11.0.1750.32, https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28150).

As I switched to 64-bit now I wanted to reproduce the issue in a 32-bit virtual environment with even less memory and it's working perfectly. I have no idea what happened. @Kasper de Jonge
