SQL Server 2012 Data Mining add-in for Excel 2010 Released

Microsoft has released SQL Server 2012 Data Mining add-in for Excel 2010. This has been a much awaited release for those vested in Data Mining.

The previous release was only available for Excel 2007 and if you tried to use
it in Excel 2010 it only worked for 32 bit machines. This was a major issue in the previous release. You’ll find now a 32 bit and 64 bit version available now.

Go download and start playing with the latest release here.
