Thanks Wu Huang, for your tutorial.
I tried to do as you told, but unfortunately there's a problem directly at the end of your how-to.
-> Out-of-memory exception, whenever I connect to the data source
-> SQL processing error whenever I try to connect via MDX Provider. I seem to have insufficient privilege..
How could I try and solve that problem?
Best regards,

hi try to create an ODBC and test the connection. Is it going through ? Sree
Found the problem:
There were missing Object privileges on _SYS_BIC for my user to "CREATE ANY". After getting them, it worked. Thanks for your help.
Thanks Wu Huang, for sharing with the tutorial.
I followed your tutorial to set excel on HANA.
I can successfully get tables with "From Microsoft Query", but I got a problem in "From Data Connect Wizard". I selected HANA MDX Provider, and typed in my hana server info. The test connection is succeeded. However, if I click ok, Excel returns me "The Data Connection Wizard cannot obtain a list of databases from the specified data source". I'm wondering if you have any ideas about what the problem is. How could I solve this problem?
Thanks very much,
Best,
Juhua
I got the same issue. Does somebody can help here?
This is a well known and often discussed issue.
The HANA ODBC driver doesn't implement the required OLE.DB functionality here.
So, if you want to do access data without MDX and the pivot-tools, you'll have to either use MS Query or write your own VBA code.
