EXCEL MSOLAP PowerPivot Addin ADOMD.NETAMO PowerPivot in-proc engine File Open: Excel opens file and reads the data in the workbook to its own memory If there is a MSOLAP connection that contains an embedded workbook, Excel streams the data into MSOLAP using a streaming interface. Data is loaded into the in-proc engine (there are temporary files written on disk)

EXCEL MSOLAP PowerPivot Addin ADOMD.NETAMO PowerPivot in-proc engine File Save: User hits ‘Save’ Excel sees that there is an embedded PowerPivot connection and calls the stream read on MSOLAP MSOLAP reads the data from the in-proc engine and streams it back to Excel Excel writes the PowerPivot in-proc data to the workbook
