Enabling MS Excel Data Mining Add-Ins

Have you installed SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-Ins for Microsoft Office and it doesn't functioning neither showing up in your Office's ribbon toolbar ?  Even when you notice that it has been installed and visible in Excel's Add-Ins list ? 

I once had the same problem and got the solution thanks to Bogdan Crivot from this post.

 

Enabling Add-Ins Through Registries

  • Click "Start" | "Run"
  • Type "regedit" and click "OK"


  • Set the value of these registries :
    • "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\SQLServer.DMClientXLAddIn" 's LoadBehavior to "3"



    • "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\SQLServer.DMXLAddIn" to "3"

  • Start your MS Office Excel 2007 Application and notice that Data Mining tab in Ribbon toolbar is now showed up.




Note: This add-in requires connection to SQL Server Analysis Service as its data mining engine.
