I'm configuring Excel Services in SharePoint 2013, and I'm trying to determine which type of SSAS 2012 instances work for the Data Model configuration in Excel Services. I'm wanting to have Excel 2013 documents that are connected to multiple tables (thus use the data model) work in SharePoint.
I have it working when I configure the Excel Services Data Model to use a PowerPivot instance (ie SERVER\POWERPIVOT). This linkhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219780.aspx seems to imply that you could use other types of SSAS instances, as long as they're SQL 2012 SP1.
At the end of the day what I'm really trying to figure out is....does this need to be a PowerPivot instance (ie. you need to have SQL Enterprise) or will this work with non PowerPivot instances (Multidimensional? Tabular?)
My thanks in Advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.
