We start this tutorial with a blank workbook. The goal in this section is to connect to an external data source, and import that data into Excel for further analysis.
The data describes Olympic Medals, and is a Microsoft Access database. Click the following links to download files we use during this tutorial series.
The ribbon adjusts dynamically based on the width of your workbook, so the commands on your ribbon may look slightly different from the following screens. The first screen shows the ribbon when a workbook is wide, the second image shows a workbook that has been resized to take up only a portion of the screen.

The Data Model is transparent in Excel, but you can view and modify it directly using the Power Pivot add-in. The Data Model is discussed in more detail later in this tutorial. Once the data is imported, a PivotTable is created using the imported tables. Exploring imported data is easy using a PivotTable.
In a PivotTable, you drag fields similar to columns in Excel from tables like the tables you just imported from the Access database into different areas of the PivotTable to adjust how it presents your data.

You can drag as many or few fields from your tables as you like, until the PivotTable presents your data how you want to see it.
