Excel 2013 PowerPivot add-in crashes

Running into a serious problem with little help on solving the issue. Any time I try doing anything with DAX Excel crashes and gives me the following error:
Please HELP!
Error #1
Excel is running into problems with the 'microsoft office powerpivot for excel 2013' add-in.
If this keeps happening, disable this add-in and check for available updates. Do you want to
disable it now?
Error #2
We couldn't load the PowerPivot add-in. First try Office Repair to fix issue. The error below
should help if that doesn't work.
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel,
Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c; or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Refreshing data is not a problem. Calculated columns and any work with Measures crashes Excel 2013 ProPlus
Things I've tried:
Office Repair; Quick and Online
'Fix It' application; re-install Office 365 ProPlus
Renaming OS.DLL to OS.DLL.Old; Restarting application
Restart computer

I tried clean boot, too. That did not seem to fix the issue.
After many failed attempts repairing the issue, I finally figured out something that works.
Start Excel in Safe Mode ( run: excel \safemode)
Alt - F11 (opens VBA editor)
Tools > references
Un-checked the following:
OLE Automation
Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library
'Save As'
Re-open workbook normal
I've not had the errors reappear. Thoughts are that the workbook was corrupted and the add-in was affected.

its working good with Excel 2010 powerpivot

Anita,
Please look into using Power Query to use OData as a source in Power Pivot.

Excel 2013 Powerpivot datamodel error with DATE formula

Hello forum users and Excel guru's alike.
I have a question relating the datamodel in Excel 2013 Powerpivot. I am using a Dutch version of Excel (on Office 365) but formula's in Datamodel are all in English so I think most of you will understand the issue:
What I want to do: Take a date and adjust this date to incorparate a number of months that is added in a other column.
Example:
Start of contract date: 24-5-2014 (this is a date field in the datamodel and it is called [StartContract])
Contract duration in months: 10 (this is a number field in the datamodel and it is called [DurationInMonths])
Output: 24-03-2015
(this is the calculated field that doesn't work)
My current formula looks like this:
=DATE(YEAR([StartContract]);MONTH([StartContract]+[DurationInMonths]);DAY([StartContract]))
It shows an error as soon as I hit Enter. The formula works fine when I replace [DurationInMonths] with the value "10" or when I leave out "+[DurationInMonths]". But that isn't an option!
The following variation also doesn't work.
=DATE(YEAR([StartContract]);MONTH([StartContract])+[DurationInMonths];DAY([StartContract]))
Please, is there any one with a solution?
Kind regards,
Erik van Hurck

Hi Tony,
I have tried your solution, to no succes I am sad to say.
I do agree that the formula works in Excel, but now switch over to the
PowerPivot Data model and try the formula there. And it will repport an error:
=DATE(year([StartDate]);month([StartDate]+[DurationInMonths]);DAY([StartDate]))
is the formula I used in the Datamodel.
The DurationInMonths field is:
Whole numbers and formatted as: General
The StartDate is:
Auto (Date) and formatted as: Short Date
For more Information I get this error:
Cannot query internal supporting structures for column "EndDate" because they depend on a column, relationship, or measure that is not processed. please refresh or recalculate the model. Maybe this link will help further:

Excel 2013 PowerPivot Error - "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model"

I'm attempting to use the PowerPivot add-on in Excel. When clicking 'Manage Data Model' or attempting to 'Load to data model,' I receive the error 'We couldn't load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.',
followed by 'PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model.' This happens irrespective of data source type. I have Excel 2013 32-bit, PowerPivot 32-bit, running on Windows 7 OS 64-bit. I am not running an SSAS instance on my machine.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Have you ever tried to repair your office?
Also we may refer to the following blog :

This issue seems to be caused by the October 2013 update (KB 2825655) for Excel 2013. Try to remove it or restore the system to an earlier point and check the result.

Excel has stopped working when I try to launch Excel 2013 Powerpivot

My system is a Windows 7 machine, 64 bit
I previously had Excel 2010 32bit with 32 both Powerpivot installed. However I am currently evaluating 64 bit Excel 2013 with Powerpivot for my company so I uninstalled Excel 2010 and installed an evaluation copy of Excel 2013 64 bit.
However whenever I launch Excel, enable Powerpivot, then click any of the Powerpivot buttons it gives me an error saying "Excel has stopped working".

You can go to check the dll file, what's size of this dll file?
If the file size is 0 byte, you can check the link below:

In addition, Isn't the latest version of .NET Framework supposed to be 4.0?(Not quite familiar with this)

Excel 2013 installed through 365 crashes when small row is in spreadsheet

Hi,
I have major issue with Excel files that makes Excel stop working when trying to print.
Excel crashes already at the preview pane and it has nothing todo with print driver, it crashes if using the XPS driver as well.
Using Excel installed locally through 365 (All patches applied)
By searching for formatting error in the spread sheet I found out that there were a couple of rows that had very small height and removing those (or increasing them) made Excel not crashing when trying to print.
This excel file is actually working on other installations of Exel 2013 but it seemes to only cause problems on the Excel 2013 installed through 365.
When I found the problem and that it seemes only to be on the 365 Excel I also found another user with same problem but no solution. (community.office365.com/en-us/forums/172/t/168863.aspx)
In my case I have several hundred Excel files and most of them are password protected which makes it impossible to fix the rows manually.
It is not a problem on traditional installed Excel 2013 or earlier versions... So I would say it is a bug with the 365 version of Excel.
Anyone out there with a solution or how to report this to Microsoft?

I would escalate the issue and someone who is more familiar with this kind of issue to deal with this problem.
Thank you for your feedback.

Excel 2010 Powerpivot workbook constanly crashing when editting pivot tables

I have a quite large powerpivot work book that I store on dropbox.   If I want to add the same field twice I go tot the normal pivot table field list and drop the field into the pivot table again. This used to be fine. I could
then make it show the difference form previous period or similar.   Recently after doing a couple of these or changing the number format excel just crashes.   I have tried rewinding my workbook version back to older versions and still the
same issue.
I tried just taking a simple single sheet of data and creating a new powerpivot model. i then dropped a couple of measures on to the pivot table and then the same measures again form the regular pivot table field list. I then tried to change on of these
to show values as % column total and crashed. so the problem is excel not my workbook.
I have run the repair through control panel and run sfc /scannow but problem persists. In event viewer the error shows as

Excel 2013 keeps crashing

I have a new Toshiba P855 with 16GIGS of memory and Office 2013. I have been on the phone with Microsoft for 6 months complaining about how Excel 2013 Office Pro keeps crashing randomly. At first they told me my macro was corrupt. I knew it wasn't because it runs all day long on office 2010 on my desktop which has Windows 7 it was on and off with them for weeks and hours and they finally said that it has to be something wrong with my laptop. It will crash sometimes when I go to copy and paste simple task on a new spreadsheet without any Macros or no conditional formatting and it is real pain in the butt. When it does crash I can load that same file to my memory stick, open it on my desktop, close it, re open on my Toshiba Office 2013 and it runs for a while.
Is there ANYTHING that can be causing this from the laptop drivers or other programs. I'm at a lost and feel Microsoft once again is giving me the run around. It gives me different crash reports within excel too so they are not always for the same reason it crashes but when it crashes anything I have open within excel crashes too. It's ONLY excel that crashes. No other programs and my lap top is fine
Thanks for any suggestions and your help

No. We just need to know when it's not going to crash, but we need to know within a minute or so. Therefore we need to be able to produce the crash on demand.
It's unproductive to make experiments if one must longer for the result. Understand?
Come to think of it, after six months of talking with Microsoft all the experiments have probably been made by now.

How to build semantic model table from excel 2013 budget table?

I have an excel 2013 budget table produced by finance department. The title of the table is <<Year 2015 Resource Budget>> with columns such as (Item, Budget). There is line of business app which tracks daily usage. It is SQL database which
I can access. The SQL table has columns such as Date, Item, Usage. I am asked to produce some PowerView reports using DAX.
I am thinking about using Excel 2013 PowerPivot. The following is the step of my plan.
Add excel 2013 Budget table to PowerPivot
Transform the budget table using DAX to a new table with includes date. For each item budget, the value can be evenly divided by 365. I don't know if this is possible with DAX and need advice from you
Import daily usage from SQL database into PowerPivot
Merge the imported SQL daily usage table with the transformed budget table with daily breakdown. The output table has 4 columns (Date, Item, ValueType, Value). The ValueType can be either Budget and Usage. (I also do not know if it is possible to
use DAX to merge two PowerPivot table into anther table with added new columns. If it is possible, I would love to hear from you on how to do this)
Finally, I can produce BI reports based on the newly merged table
Update: Here are more sample data.
Input Budget
<<Year 2014 Resource Budget>>

Off course, I need to build dimension tables for Date, Item, Item Category, and Value Type
jl

Hi JL,
Just for consideration, I'd:
Keep budget and actuals separately - create Fact_Y2015Budget and Fact_Actuals;
Hook both tables to same dimesnions (time; if there is no time for budget, assign it all to the first day of your 2015; line item etc. - whatever you are asked to report about)
If you can, pull usage not only for 2015, but for prior year(s) too
Create measures like [Usage Budget Atteinment YTD]:=TotalYTD(SUM([Usage]),your_time)/([Budget]*PriorYear(TotaYTD(SUM([Usage]),you_time)/CALCULATE(SUM([Usage]),DATESBETWEEN(your_first_day_of_year2015,your_last_day_of_2015))))
The calculation in #4 compares actual ("usage") to portion of budget that would have been used up if 2015 had the same seasonality as 2014... If you couldmshare specific sample, I'd buuild exact formula...

PowerPivot Excel 2013 crashes after column rename in source datatabase

Hello,
Using Windows 8.1, Excel 2013 64Bits, PowerPivot Add-In :
Not using a SQL Server TabularModel just a local Excel Model.
Having 32MB Ram memory.
Readed a table from a SQL Source that contains 13.000.000 records. After loading I discoverd that in the Source one of the columnn names is incorrect. It's name ExecudingProvider and should be ExecutingProvider, so I changed the SQL Server source table and
added the "t" to ExecutingProvider...
Back in PowerPivot I do go to the PowerPivot Data model > Design > Table Properties (not sure of translation using dutch edition but you should be able to find it)
It mentions that it is missing the ExecudingProvider. It;s indeed gone from the Columns that are listed, in place I do see the ExecutingProvider column which is not selected, clicked the checkbox to select the new column name. When clicking Save PowerPivot
starts loading. On reach of 13.000.000 records PowerPivot crashes saying an error has occurred, no real specification on what error and restarts excel automatically.
My work arround for know is to remove the table from the model and add it again, causing to recreate all relation ships. This should not be the case I think.
Do other have this same problem and did you figure out what is going wrong?

Arjan

PowerPivot crash Excel 2013 32 bit

Hi,
When trying to connect Oracle DB (11g) on default configuration (just when trying to do test connection), Excel crashes each time.
Power Query connecting well same DB on same server.
From Visual Studio I can connect same DB on same server.
From .NET code connection work well.
Please help!

Hi Vadim,
Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel 2013 doesn’t install the providers for each data source. Some providers might already be installed with other applications on your computer; in other cases, we may need to download and install the provider.
So, please try to install Oracle OLE DB Provider to see if this help. We can get the provider from the link below:

couldn't load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.", followed by "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model".
I tried to repair the installation to no avail. I tried to launch excel in admin mode, nothing better.
This issue seems to be shared by some other people on this forum but
with no satisfactory answer so far.
I had a SQL server 2012 plugin installed previously which I uninstalled as well, but no change.
Would you think of something else?
Thanks
