PowerPivot field list and Excel field list at same time!
OK, ignore my last post, that was just silly.
Yesterday one of my fine colleagues at Pivtostream mentioned that he was seeing both field lists simultaneously. Then followed an exchange where I said “BS,” he said “bet me some cash, oh PowerPivot boy” and, well, he was right.
One should be careful never to wager against one’s own boss.
Anyway, in beta releases of the addin, it was IMPOSSIBLE to bring up the Excel field list without disabling the addin. Apparently, the team decided at the last minute that allowing the user to bring up the Excel field list could compensate for the lack of certain features.
