Let's jump in, and get the installation process started.

Install Analyze in Excel

You must install Analyze in Excel from links provided in the Power BI service. Power BI detects the version of Excel you have on your computer, and automatically downloads the appropriate version (32-bit or 64-bit). You can sign in to the Power BI service using the following link:

Once you've signed in and the Power BI service is running in your browser, select More options (the ...) in the upper-right corner and then select Download > Analyze in Excel updates. This menu item applies to new installations of updates of Analyze in Excel.

Alternatively, you can navigate in the Power BI service to a dataset you want to analyze, and select the More options item for a dataset, report, or other Power BI item. From the menu that appears, select the Analyze in Excel option, as shown in the following image.

Either way, Power BI detects whether you have Analyze in Excel installed, and if not, you're prompted to download.

When you select download, Power BI detects the version of Excel you have installed and downloads the appropriate version of the Analyze in Excel installer. You see a download status in the bottom of your browser, or wherever your browser displays download progress.

When the download completes, run the installer (.msi) to install Analyze in Excel. The name of the installation process is different from Analyze in Excel; the name will be Microsoft Analysis Services OLE DB Provider as shown in the following image, or something similar.

Once it completes, you're ready to select a report in the Power BI service (or other Power BI data element, like a dataset), and then analyze it in Excel.

Connect to Power BI data

In the Power BI service, navigate to the dataset or report you want to analyze in Excel, and then:

Select the More options menu.
Select Analyze in Excel from the menu items that appear.
The following image shows selecting a report.
Note
Remember that if you select Analyze in Excel from a Report menu, it is the report's underlying dataset that is brought into Excel.
The Power BI service then creates an Excel file of the dataset that's designed (and structured) for use with Analyze in Excel, and begins a download process in your browser.
The file name matches the dataset (or report, or other data source) from which it was derived. So if the report was called Quarterly Report, then the downloaded file would be Quarterly Report.xlsx.
Note
Analyze in Excel now downloads an Excel file instead of an ODC file. This enables data protection on data exported from Power BI. The downloaded Excel file inherits the sensitivity label of the dataset chosen for Analyze in Excel.
Launch the Excel file.
Note
The first time you open the file, you may have to Enable Editing and then Enable Content, depending on your Protected view and Trusted document settings.

When using Excel to analyze Power BI using a PivotTable, Power BI extends sensitivity label inheritance to Excel. A sensitivity label applied on a Power BI dataset is automatically applied to the Excel file when you create a PivotTable in Excel.

If the label on the dataset subsequently changes to be more restrictive, the label applied to the Excel file is automatically updated upon data refresh in Excel. If the dataset changes to become less restrictive, no label inheritance or update occurs.

Sensitivity labels in Excel that were manually set are not automatically overwritten by the dataset's label. If an Excel file has a manually set sensitivity label, a policy tip will appear with a recommendation to upgrade the label.

For more information, see how to apply sensitivity labels in Power BI.

Use Excel to analyze the data

Once you've enabled editing and content, Excel presents you with an empty PivotTable and Fields list from the Power BI dataset, ready to be analyzed.

The Excel file has an MSOLAP connection string that connects to your dataset in Power BI. When you analyze or work with the data, Excel queries that dataset in Power BI and returns the results to Excel. If that dataset connects to a live data source using DirectQuery, Power BI queries the data source and returns the result to Excel.

With that connection to the data in Power BI now established, you can create PivotTables, charts, and analyze that dataset just as you would work with a local dataset in Excel.

Analyze in Excel is especially useful for Power BI datasets and reports that connect to the following data sources:

Azure Analysis Services tabular data models and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular or multidimensional data models
Connection to datasets from live connection to Analysis Services (Azure and SQL Server) are not currently supported
Power BI Desktop files or Excel workbooks with data models that have model measures created using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).

With Excel for the web, you can now explore and refresh Excel workbooks connected to Power BI datasets. If you have downloaded an Analyze in Excel workbook from Power BI or connected directly to a Power BI dataset from Excel desktop, you can share and refresh these workbooks through OneDrive and SharePoint. You can copy the link to the OneDrive or SharePoint location by clicking the Share button in Excel desktop and pasting the link directly in a browser. Now you start working with PivotTables connected to Power BI datasets in Excel for the web just like you would in Excel desktop.
