This is the error message that comes up when ttrying to pull in EBay data (from Catagories field).<br/> <br/> "Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: Unable to connect to the remote server;No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 70.37.64.198:20000.<br/> <br/> The operation has been cancelled."<br/> <br/> If ebay is not exposed as an odata data source, it needs to be removed from the list.
Why can't I use facebook > odata > powerpivot? Is your odata feed not working? Is there and FAQ?
FaceBook Insights Feed also not working up to now, but hopefully available soon?!<br/> http://powerpivot-info.com/forum/4-powerpivot-and-dax-forum/180-powerpivot-odata-connection-to-facebook<br/>
The Ebay odata connection is not working (11/1/2010).
It does. I think Alex was just trying to outline all the new (i.e. not talked about before) producers/consumers that were recently announced.
I thought SharePoint 2010 used ODATA as well
Lars, <br/> <br/> Thanks for the catch, yes SAP is working to add OData support to it's next generation of products.<br/> <br/> - Alex
What about SAP?<br/> <br/> --larsw
