Hi, I had installed MS Office Pro 2013. I thought this is a professional version and the highest version available to home office user and the more expensive package. But it seems that some of the function, such as Power Pivot is actually not included. It does not make sense when the standard excel version has the power pivot and the professional version does not. This is confusing and annoying, as being a consumer I thought I have bought the highest version that would have included every features available. Is there any way of a workaround to include the power pivot in my version of excel?
