1.0 Introduction to the Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007

The Microsoft® SQL Server™ Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 help you derive patterns and trends that exist in complex data, visualize those patterns in charts and interactive viewers, and then generate rich, colorful summaries for presentation and for business analytics. This document describes how to obtain and install the Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007. The Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 must be used with Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office Visio 2007.

Important:
The Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 require a connection to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. These add-ins cannot be used with SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, because it requires the algorithms and other data mining services provided in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.

After you have downloaded the add-ins, you can find additional information about how to use the Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 in the Help that has been provided in the installation package. If you installed the add-ins in the default location, the path of the Help file is as follows:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 DM add-Ins\DMAddins_Office2007.chm
