In a world with that much data, we’re lucky to have tools like Power Pivot and Power Query that offer easy connection to data sources that just sort of … clicks! However, if you’ve tried connecting to an Oracle database in Power Pivot you might have had some trouble. Statistics citing the amount of data being generated daily describe it in terms of exabytes (1 exabyte is 1 BILLION gigabytes!) In fact, the amount of data generated daily now exceeds the entire storage capacity of the entire world in 1986! The amount of data around us is staggering. Andrew’s got a lot of wisdom to share and you should all look forward to more posts from him. Andrew here lays it all out in simple step by step approach. Recently I had worked with a client where we spent quite some time just trying to figure out how to connect Power Pivot to their Oracle database. You have probably heard Rob talk about the “Data Gene”, well Andrew is the ideal specimen for that breed. Intro by Avi: Andrew has been a part of P3 Adaptive family for a while now and has been doing wonders for the clients he has been working with.
