    1. @Sam,
      The download files are at time direct links to mp4 files. If the browser is so setup to associate these files playback with Quicktime, it will ask you to donwload/install the plug-in or purchase the package. However, you can opt to right click on the link and choose “Save Target as…” or equivalent choice and save the file to local disc. After that, you can play the video using a compatible media player from local disc directly.

  1. Hi Chandoo,

    My work is not yet upgrading to Excel 2013. Will that be an issue with PowerPivot and PowerPivot training? I have just persuaded them to load PowerPivot onto everyone’s Excel 2010 – at probably 6-7,000 employees using Office under a corporate contract I think that they would be less likely to move to 2013 at this time.

    Thanks
    Sharon

  2. Oh No! My apologies. When I went back I see you have the beginning video for 2013. I think I will go for that coffee you mentioned sipping now so I can wake my brain up. Sorry!
